Description

In the tumultuous aftermath of the Civil War, two freedmen, Prentiss and Landry, navigate the uncertain landscape of their newfound liberty in rural Georgia. Their fragile existence is irrevocably altered when they form an unexpected alliance with a lonely white farmer. This profound connection challenges the deeply entrenched social order and forces all three to confront the complexities of race, family, and belonging in a nation struggling to redefine itself.
