Den succesrige krimiforfatter Sarah Morton føler sig udbrændt, og hendes redaktør tilbyder hende at låne hans villa i Sydfrankrig. Sarah finder sig hurtigt til rette i huset, men en dag dukker der en uventet gæst op - nemlig redaktørens unge datter. Sarah er fortørnet over at blive forstyrret, men også fascineret af den selvsikre unge kvinde, der solbader uden en trevl på kroppen og dyrker højlydt sex med forskellige mænd. Men en dag tager tingene en dramatisk drejning.
1775 was a 1992 pilot episode for a CBS situation comedy, similar in style to the BBC situation comedy Blackadder. Set in colonial Philadelphia during the run-up to the American Revolution, the series was to follow the exploits of innkeeper Jeremy Proctor and his family. The series was not picked up by CBS. A similar idea for a situation comedy was mentioned by Andrew Alexander in a commentary track for SCTV.
