Synopsis

Somewhere in the American West in 1878, the Nicholsons live in a large house that is more like a mausoleum than a home. The family includes Ben, the domineering patriarch; Katherine, his second wife, a nymphomaniac; and his two sons by his first wife, Frank, a homosexual, and Davy, who is mentally disabled. Whity – a young black man who wants to belong to the family – is Ben’s illegitimate son. Although he serves the family, they abuse him.
