In the years following the American Civil War, there is a lot of conflict and uncertainty in the changing South. The way of life for the plantation owners will never again be the same. Elizabeth is determined to do everything that she can to secure her family's home, even if that means upsetting social norms in her hometown. Christopher is coming home, but before he can settle down, he must confront the mystery behind his parents' deaths so many years ago. He sets out alone on his quest until his love for a spirited young woman, who has no intentions of marrying, will force him to resurrect a name that he turned away from so many years ago. Can Elizabeth and Christopher uncover the truth before they themselves become victims of the same fate his parents suffered?
