Synopsis :
Poison Ivy: The New Seduction focuses on the central conflict between the obsessed
hedonist Violet and her friend and foe Joy of a more complacent and sensible
personality.
The drama's only setting is the Greer family's California hillside mansion.
In 1987 Ivan and Catherine Greer live with their 9-year-old daughter Joy and
their housekeeper Rebecca and her two daughters, Ivy 9, and Violet 8. The three
young girls live as sisters but the more rambunctious Ivy is bored by their
childish games of tea and rejoices at Ivan's unexpected early day return from
the office, "There's going to be fireworks."
As Ivy predicts, Ivan catches Rebecca in bed with the handsome pool boy, and
the two men scuffle. As Ivan tends to his wounds he and Rebecca begin a loud
argument about their adulterous affair. The shouting brings Catherine's attention
from the garden, who upon learning of the affair immediately evicts Rebecca
and her children. Rebecca retaliates that Catherine cannot fulfill Ivan's sexual
desires. As she and her daughters leave the Greer mansion Joy is heartbroken
to lose her only known siblings.
In 1997 the Nordic beauty Violet returns to Greer home and is reunited with
Joy for the first time in ten years. Violet states that she is looking for a
summer time residence while working as a waitress at Denny's Restaurants and
planning to attend the local Junior College. Joy suggests that she reside with
them and stay in the late Catherine's room. Joy is an amateur tennis star and
engaged to her Princeton boyfriend Michael who will be working as an intern
for Mr. Greer's bank.
