Karina Lombard, Nathaniel Parker, Rachel Ward, Michael York, Martine Beswick, Claudia Robinson, Paul CampbellDie junge Landbesitzerin Antoinette Cosway (Karina Lombard) heiratet im Jamaika der 1840er Jahre den verstockten Engländer Edward Rochester. Es ist eine Heirat aus Berechnung, die sich überaschenderweise zu mehr entwickelt. Ein dunkles Familiengeheimnis gefährdet allerdings bald das unerwartete Glück des Ehepaares. Sargasso Sea – Im Meer der Leidenschaft basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Roman von Jean Rhys.
In the wake of Jamaican emancipation, French colonist Annette Cosway falls into poverty and marries racist Englishman Paul Mason. But when Annette's young son dies in a fire started by former slaves, Mason flees to England, leaving his grief-stricken wife and her Creole daughter Antoinette behind. Soon Antoinette learns she must marry to claim her inheritance and sets her sights on Rochester, an Englishman eerily similar to Mason.
