A Latino Gone With The Wind occurring in Mexico at the same time as the United States civil war. Mexican patriots, Miguel and Isabella, a charismatic Juarista colonel and a fiery aristocrat, star-crossed lovers of different caste on opposite sides of a violent class struggle and repulse of a French invasion, fight for their country and against prejudice, each in their own way. Isabella, independent in a male-dominated society, betrays her father and class to give covert aid to Juarista guerrillas. Her clandestine love affair with Miguel is a maze of secrets, lies, and subplots with the intrigue and suspense of a mystery woven into tumultuous Mexican history. A dramatic twist leads to a poignant ending.
