It unfurls in Roselea Gap, a lovely and picturesque small Southern town, the kind of place one might see on a postcard, sigh softly, all the while wishing they had lived there. The play begins with the death of Jake Woodward, Cassie Marie's white lover, and ends with her mother's final attempt to save Cassie Marie's black soul.
