Synopsis
In contemporary, urban Dakar, Karmen escapes an all-female island penitentiary, leaving behind women who cherish her and a female warden who is wilting from the heat of her passionate desire. She returns to her people and to her lawless ways, ruling her smuggling ring with a passion as resolute as a military leader, an arm as strong as a prize-fighter and seduction techniques as wicked as they are deliciously irresistible. She lures the soldier Lamine away from his wife and then keeps him a mental prisoner in order to facilitate her dirty work.
