Young lawyer Adam Hall volunteers to take on the defence of a convicted murderer on
Mississippi's Death Row. His client is seventy-year-old Sam Cayhall, whose crime was
the killing of two Jewish children in a 1967 Ku Klux Klan bombing. Sam despises
lawyers and Northern liberals, and there is little hope that he will hire the young man. But
Adam has a secret, hitherto hidden in his own tortured past - he is Sam's grandson. Adam
wants to find out what drove his father to suicide, destroying his family, and the answer
lies with Sam, unrepentant and as prejudiced as the Old South.
