In the era of slavery in the Confederate South, Boone and Suzette have found love. Despite his status as a free man, Boone risks it all to be with Suzette and promises her freedom. Her master, Thomas Howell, however is less than pleased with their relationship. His plans for Suzette do not include her having a husband, and when Thomas discovers that the couple is secretly married he uses his aristocratic power to make their life together much harder than either of them could have imagined.Meanwhile, tension among the slaves escalates on the Howell Plantation as rumors of war spread throughout the town of Whiteport, Virginia. Caught in the whirlwinds of political revolution and social justice, the whole town finds itself divided just as much as the country. Can Boone and Suzette survive the odds, or will the institution of slavery overpower the institution of marriage?
