Spolit, feckless Temple Drake, the daughter of a judge, runs away from
school with an unsuitable man. Abandoned by him with a gang of moonshiners,
Temple falls into the clutches of the psychotic Popeye, one of the most
grotesque characters of Faulkner's imagination. A compelling, shocking tale
of perverted justice in the Deep South, Sanctuary is also a moving plea for
courage in the darkest of circumstances.
