These include the aristocratic Banastre family, whose men patronize Blue Rhonda Latrec and Banana Mac. The younger Banastre roam from Yale Law School to incestuous beds, while their stunning mother. Hortensia, appears to epitomize Montgomery's last dispassionate bastion of social standards. But her frigid facade soon crumbles when she meets a gentle young man half her age, and their affair entangles Montgomery, from its upper echelons to the railroad station's streetwalkers...
