Love and Marriage for Barton and Elise Barre began in the oilfields of Texas. With Bart's innovative drill designs, financial backing from friends and a hearty appetite for making money, the Barre Oil Drilling & Engineering (BODE) office has now moved to Austin Texas. With his beautiful and talented wife, Elise, Bart feels he is fast gaining his dream - to be a wealthy oil baron.
Elise keeps everything running like a well-oiled machine, as a wife, mother and business partner in BODE. This keeps Bart happy and his happiness is hers. Together, they often have times of intense love and a good partnership. As Bart's lucky star, Elise helps to build his dream.
During the days which seem wonderful, enters the fateful snake creeping into their idyllic garden of bliss. Perhaps it is the La Barre family curse wreaking havoc with friends, family and business partners. Barton and Elise suffer a break, which begins the tragedy of the summer of 1950. Each try to gain back that magical momentum they had before everything fell apart.
