When blood from two dead bodies is found pooled between rows of sugarcane in a field near his home in Franklin, Louisiana, Public Defender John Clark, III, finds himself entangled in far more than a straight-forward criminal defense of the accused. His client, barely eighteen-year-old Danny Howard, who is visibly black but contends he is white, faces the death penalty twice. In the course of constructing the defense, the secret to Danny's parentage is revealed. John meets Medley Butterfield, a Mississippi girl with a past. His attraction for her threatens his resolve to avoid commitment. Uncovering the truth behind the brutal murders brings John and Medley into dangerous conflict with political influence and criminal power. Ultimately, Danny and his family, and John and Medley, experience the pain and power of love.
