这基本上是一个女人（凡妮莎威廉姆斯）反抗南方传统和种族主义的故事。 在一个与种族外的人结婚是违法的时代，亨丽埃特（威廉姆斯）和杰拉德（贝洛斯）坠入爱河，并面临当时土地法律的考验。 他们计划搬到杰拉德所在的法国，在那里他们可以不受任何限制地结婚。

This is basically a tale of one woman's (Vanessa Williams) rebellion against tradition and racism in the south. In a time when it is against the law to marry outside your race, Henriette (Williams), and Gerard (Bellows), fall in love and face trials of the law of the land of the day. They plan on moving to France where Gerard is from, where they can marry without any restrictions. Until Henriette's sister falls sick and they are forced to stay in the states. Henriette starts fighting with all her might for the rights of her people and her place in the church. I don't want to give away the ending so I will end this here.
