A searing, intimate portrait of two families navigating racism, trauma, and systemic oppression in post-war Mississippi, where personal bonds are tested against the brutality of social hierarchy.

In the post–World War II South, two families are pitted against a barbaric social hierarchy and an unrelenting landscape as they simultaneously fight the battle at home and the battle abroad.
