Amelia and her two daughters, Anya and Hannah, are slaves in the South. Amelia holds tightly to a secret, but her eldest daughter Anya has a feeling it has something to do with the death of her father whose passing was accidental—or maybe not. Without the answers they seek, the women are sold and move to Peachtree Plantation. The secret is later revealed when Anya learns why they had to leave their old owner's home. She confronts her mother and lets her know their old owner lied about how her father died. Anya then finds comfort with the Peachtree Plantation owner's oldest son Craig Jr., and eventually falls in love with him. Craig's love is tested when he has to go against his family to save Anya. Love between people of different races comes with obvious complications; are they both willing to risk it all to be together?
