Es 1946, y Laura McAllan, una mujer de ciudad, trata de criar a sus hijos en la granja del Delta del Misisipi de su marido, lugar que encuentra extraño y aterrador, cuando dos jóvenes regresan de la guerra para trabajar la tierra. El primero, Jamie McAllan, cuñado de Laura, es todo lo que su marido no es; encantador, guapo y atormentado por sus recuerdos de combate. Por su parte, Ronsel Jackson, el hijo mayor de los aparceros negros que viven en la granja McAllan, ha vuelto a casa con el brillo de un héroe de guerra. Pero nada cuenta la valentía demostrada en defensa de su país: es considerado menos que un ser humano en el Sur. Es la improbable amistad de estos compañeros de armas la que conduce esta poderosa historia hasta su inexorable conclusión. Los hombres y mujeres de ambas familias protagonizarán una tragedia en su escala más épica.
