This is a direct quote from IMDB.com's entry fro the movie
"There was a time when Lazarus (SAMUEL L. JACKSON) played the blues; a time he got Bojo’s Juke Joint shakin’ back in the day. Now he lives them. Bitter and broken from a cheating wife and a shattered marriage, Lazarus’ soul is lost in spent dreams and betrayal’s contempt…Until Rae (CHRISTINA RICCI).
Half naked and beaten unconscious, Rae is left for dead on the side of the road when Lazarus discovers her. The God-fearing, middle-aged black man quickly learns that the young white woman he’s nursing back to health is none other than the town tramp from the small Tennessee town where they live. Worse, she has a peculiar anxiety disorder. He realizes when the fever hits, Rae’s affliction has more to do with love lost than any found. Abused as a child and abandoned by her mother, Rae is used by just about every man in the phone book. She tethers her only hope to Ronnie (JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE), but escape to a better life is short-lived when Ronnie ships off for boot camp. Desperation kicks in, as a drug-induced Rae reverts to surviving the only way she knows how, by giving any man what he wants to get what she needs…Until Lazarus.
Refusing to know her in the biblical sense, Lazarus decides to cure Rae of her wicked ways – and vent some unresolved male vengeance of his own. He chains her to his radiator, justifying his unorthodox methods with quoted scripture. Preacher R.L. (JOHN COTHRAN) intervenes, but it is Lazarus and Rae who redeem themselves. Unleashing Rae emotionally, Lazarus unchains his heart, finding love again in Angela (S. EPATHA MERKERSON). By saving Rae, he frees himself."

It is so unrealistic, A black guy locking up a white girl so he can cure her of her obsessive partying, drinking and drug problems, He does some voodoo stuff on her and thats suppose to cure her. And of all the places, its in the south. The black guy would be lynched for doing that down there.

I think its about a prostitute Christina Ricci that was beat up by her pimp Justin Timberlake and left in the road and Samuel L. Jackson found her and is trying to straighten her out in some sort of religious way. I want to see it. It looks pretty good.

Apparently it's an allegory about a white woman trapped by her sexual compulsions. A black man finds her and chains her up to protect her from harming herself and others, and to redeem her in some way. It's supposed to be loaded with symbolism, and is not to be taken too literally.

You know I'm very confused about it myself. I guess some white girl with a black old guy and she's chained to a fence or something. Sounds retarded.

What I know so far...
Samuel L. Jackson's character comes across a white female nymphomaniac and decides to keep her around.
