Written and directed by Michie Gleason. Based on Louise Shivers' novel Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail, the film is set in 1937. Roxy Walston (Lori Singer) is a bored South Carolina farm wife raising a 22-month-old daughter while her husband Aaron (Anthony Edwards) tends to his tobacco fields. When Aaron hires Jack Ruffin (Bruce Abbott) to help with the harvest, it is only a matter of time until Roxy strays from the conjugal bed. In SUMMER HEAT, all the elements for a steamy, lusty, erotic period piece are in place. (official distributor synopsis)
