Après dix années passées à Richmond, Will Seems revient dans la petite ville où il a grandi pour prendre un poste d'adjoint au shérif. Il y retrouve cette terre du sud de la Virginie hantée par l'histoire, celle des riches plantations de tabac et de l'esclavage, que le progrès semble avoir oublié. Will devra affronter ceux de son propre passé lorsqu'un de ses amis d'enfance est assassiné. Alors qu'un vieil homme est suspecté, la communauté noire de la région engage une détective privée, Bennico Watts, pour l'innocenter.

After a decade of exile precipitated by the tragic death of his mother, Will Seems returns home from Richmond to rural Southside Virginia, taking a job as deputy sheriff in a landscape given way to crime and defeat. Impoverished and abandoned, this remote land of tobacco plantations, razed forests, and boarded up homes seems stuck in the past in a state that is trying to forget its complex history and move on.
