Synopsis
Set in a sleepy Southern Louisiana town in 1959, a lawyer, searches for justice as he volunteers to help a black woman whose property is being threatened by the Holts, the first family of the town, after she refuses to sell her valuable land. Nobody thinks Willie can win the case, but behind its polite facade, the town is waiting to explode, as Willie enlists the aid of eccentric Hannah Loftin and her niece, Whitsey, relatives of the Holts.
