In a post-Civil War Virginia mountain community, a young girl’s idyllic life is shattered by escalating racial violence and personal tragedy. Raised by a fiercely independent grandmother, she navigates a world unraveling under Reconstruction's collapse, questioning the deep-seated prejudice surrounding her. When her father's efforts to educate Black children ignite a violent backlash, she must confront buried truths about her family and neighbors to find a path toward healing.
