After giving up a career as a British Royal Marine, John Fraser agrees to his wife Anne's fondest wish: that they return from London to Cannon's Point, her family's plantation on St. Simons Island, Georgia. John learns about coastal planting from Anne's father and brother, both world-renowned for their agricultural expertise. From day one it's a struggle for John, for he must not only master the techniques of planting and harvesting, but he must become a slave owner. Anne, who grew up surrounded by slaves, comfortably resumes her way of life. Enter the famous English actress Fanny Kemble Butler, who decides to pay a visit. She makes quite a splash on St. Simons, with her sophisticated ways and her outspoken opinions on the evil of slavery. With the dynamic and fiercely abolitionist Fanny to influence her, Anne slowly starts to realise how immoral the Southern institution of slavery is.
