It’s the summer of 1964 and three innocent men are
brutally murdered for trying to help Black Mississippians
secure the right to vote. Against this backdrop, twenty-two
year old Violet Richards finds herself in more trouble than
she’s ever been in her life. Suffering a brutal attack
of her own, she kills the man responsible. But with the
color of Violet’s skin, there is no way she can escape
Jim Crow justice in Jackson, Mississippi. Before anyone can
find the body or finger her as the killer, she decides to
run. With the help of her white beau, Violet escapes. But
desperation and fear leads her to hide out in the small
rural town of Chillicothe, Georgia, unaware that danger may
be closer than she thinks.
Back in Jackson, Marigold, Violet’s older sister,
has dreams of attending law school. Working for the
Mississippi Summer Project, she has been trying to use her
smarts to further the cause of the Black vote. But Marigold
is in a different kind of trouble: she’s pregnant and
unmarried. After news of the murder brings the police to her
door, Marigold sees no choice but to flee Jackson too. She
heads North seeking the promise of a better life and no more
segregation. But has she made a terrible choice that
threatens her life and that of her unborn child?
Two sisters on the run—one from the law, the other
from social shame. What they don’t realize is that
there’s a man hot on their trail. This man has his own
brand of dark secrets and a disturbing motive for finding
the sisters that is unknown to everyone but him . . .
