The story

In 1901, Joanna Selby is on her way from New Orleans to a South American cocoa plantation to meet her new husband, whom she married by proxy, plantation owner Christopher Leiningen. On a boat up the river to the Leiningen plantation, Joanna meets the local Commissioner, who informs her that he is aware of her circumstances, having stood in for her as the bride during the proxy ceremony. When Joanna asks him to tell her about her new husband, the Commissioner responds that in a month's time she will be able to tell him more than he knows now.
