Daphne Slough moves to a southern rural township and falls in love with David Archer, the high school's multi-talented star athlete. Successful careers and an ideal marriage propel them into high society with material wealth beyond their aspirations, but their most cherished and unfulfilled desire of a child eludes them for two decades. The joyful birth of Adem in their middle years delivers the ultimate proof that misfortune overshadows every success in their lives.
