The Greaves family is the pillar of Germantown, a small South
Carolina community that nestles in the folds of the Appalachian
Mountains. Richard and Clara Greaves live in a stone manor paid for
by the bank Richard founded three decades ago. Their oldest son,
Jack, is the high school athletic director, their daughter, Emily,
the county solicitor. Their youngest son, Tom, is a former champion
on American Ninja. Their lives appear charmed, at least until the
October weekend when they begin to unravel, quickly and publicly.
In the wake of shady business transactions, a floundering marriage,
and Tom's new Leonard Cohen tattoo-- the Greaves are so harried no
one seems to have realized the family matriarch has suffered a
stroke. Into this chaos comes Nayma, a young Mexican-American woman
in a very white town, lonely Elvis, war veteran and high school
groundskeeper, and Dr. Elias Agnew, a high school teacher existing
behind a facade of dissimulation-- all of whom challenge
traditional notions of what it means to be southern, and what it
means to be accepted, particularly when the old ways begin to
crumble.
