Joy & Anger

Julie Bullard, daughter of one of Hollywood's legendary directors and one of the hottest young directors in her own right, is filming on location in the Louisiana bayou, working on a high-budget film that will make or break her career. Rey Tabary, nicknamed the Swamp Rat, is a Creole, a native of the bayou -- a man Julie needs to provide authenticity for her movie . . . and to fill other needs as well. But as first accidents, and then murder, disrupt the set, Julie turns to Rey to face the deadly reality of a killer . . . and the pleasures of uncompromising love.
