As Judge Deborah Knott presides over a case involving a
barroom brawl, it becomes clear that deep resentments over
race, class, and illegal immigration are simmering just
below the surface in the countryside. An early spring sun
has begun to shine like a blessing on the fertile fields
of North Carolina, but along with the seeds sprouting in
the thawing soil, violence is growing as well. Mutilated
body parts have appeared along the back roads of Colleton
County, and the search for the victim's identity and for
that of his killer will lead Deborah and her new husband,
Sheriff's Deputy Dwight Bryant, into the desperate realm
of undocumented farm workers exploited for cheap labor. In the meantime, Deborah and Dwight continue to adjust to
married life and to having Dwight's eight-year-old son,
Cal, live with them full time. When another body is found,
these newlyweds will discover dark truths that threaten to
permanently alter the serenity of their rural surroundings
and their new life together.
