He buys a run-down house in a quickly changing community, and begins life anew. Lucien and Marie-Ange call their home La Kay--\"my mother's house\"--and it becomes a place where their fellow immigrants can find peace, a good meal, and necessary legal help. But as a severely emotionally damaged man emigrating from a country whose evils he knows to one whose evils he doesn't, Lucien soon falls into his worst habits and impulses, with La Kay as the backdrop for his lasciviousness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat he can't begin to fathom is that the house is watching, passing judgment, and deciding to put an end to all the sins it has been made to hold.
