A story of love, death, racism and redemption in post World War II Florida. It is late 1946. Lester Clayton Tottenman, a hate-filled soldier of the savage White Christian Knights of the South Carolina Ku Klux Klan, has fallen desperately in love with a beautiful mulatto girl named Porcelain Jones. If they are discovered, both sides of the race divide will kill them. Their frantic flight from a lethal past leads them to Key West, where they and a company of characters face a surprise hurricane on New Year's Day 1947.
