Summer 1965, oil heir David Goldman, goes to Alabama for the summer to visit his mother and her husband (a paranoid railroad baron). He befriends an eccentric delinquent (Freddie Fredrickson), gets into a pinch with a New Orleans mafia boss, and falls in love with the local butcher's daughter (Jacquelyn Woods). David's inheritance, the town's hatred for Jacquelyn and her mysterious sadness all conspire together to create a perfect storm. David fights to keep Jacquelyn, though it may be too little too late.
