A brutal, unflinching examination of slavery's dehumanization and sexual exploitation, framed through the tragic intersection of forced breeding, marital dysfunction, and interracial desire in the antebellum South.

Warren Maxwell, the owner of a run-down plantation, pressures his son, Hammond, to marry and produce an heir to inherit the plantation. Hammond settles on his own cousin, Blanche, but purchases a sex slave when he returns from the honeymoon. He also buys his father a new Mandingo slave named Mede to breed and train as a prize-fighter.
