ABSTRACT Lazarus Woods, aging former blues musician and present-day farmer in rural Mississippi, struggles with his impoverished existence and recent loss of his wife's companionship. On an otherwise unremarkable day, Lazarus discovers sex-addicted town madam Rae severely beaten and left for dead on the side of the road; sensing a lost soul in need of guidance, the God-fearing man nurses her back to health while giving her a comprehensive education in the ways of the Lord.

REVIEWS Review by Blenus Martin (posted on 10-Jul-2007) The movie was not what I expected it to be... From start to finish it really kept my attention as far as the characters go... Samuel L Jackson did a superb job of playing a character that had the morals and value system in a community that wouldn't allow it to be acknowledged...
I had not seen many of Justin Timberlake's work, but I thought he did a fine job of playing a young man out of place and trying to find his way...
Christine Ricci really surprised me in her role. Although I accepted her as that cute little goth girl in "The Addam's Family" flicks, I appreciate her maturity and bravery in playing such a role...
I give this movie a full 4 stars... It was a very well written and well acted movie from start to finish...
