The saga of a Creole family from Estilette, Louisiana, set against the backdrop of the birth of the blues. In the 1930s, Phillip Fergerson's marriage to Martha, a beautiful Creole woman, turns into nightmares. Instead of becoming the doctor he promised to be, he becomes a high school teacher, and events of murder, lynching, voodoo, and sexual abuse set in motion the disintegration of the family.
