In 1959, two thirteen year old boys discover a secret that the town
of Hole, Georgia, would rather remain buried. No one wants to talk
about the decorated African American soldier lynched on a hot
summer night in 1919. But the event cannot be ignored since several
impressionable citizens of the town claim they have seen the
"haint" of the murdered soldier dancing around the old live oak
tree in the city park--always around midnight on Independence Day.
The two boys decide they must discover whether the ghost is real or
just the imagination of a guilt-ridden community.
Darrel Cannon and his new friend, Bumpy Foster, set out to find
the truth. They soon ally themselves with an old black stonecutter
who seems to know much more than he is willing to tell. Their
journey through the humid summer leads to adventure and danger but
also to enlightenment. In the aftermath of the flaming climax,
Darrel Cannon discovers that the senseless violence of a bygone era
can forever change a boy's world view.
