Luis Bernardo Valença is a 37-year-old bachelor, charming, wealthy, and living an enviable life in the high society of early 20th-century Lisbon. His life is completely revolutionized when the last king of Portugal, Don Carlos, asks him to accept the difficult task of governor in the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe. His mission is to refute the accusations of the British, who want to show the world a Portugal that is still backward and slave-holding. Opposed to Mr. David Jameson, the British government consul, Valença is swept away by a devastating and tormented passion for the young, beautiful, and dangerous wife of his political rival and friend in colonial exile.
