It's the summer of 1964, twenty-two year old Violet Richards, after suffering a brutal attack, kills the man responsible. But with the colour of Violet's skin, there is no way she can escape Jim Crow justice in Jackson, Mississippi - so she decides to run. After news of the murder brings the police to her door, Violet's older sister, Marigold - pregnant and unmarried - sees no choice but to flee Jackson too. What they don't realize is that there's a man hot on their trail. This man has his own brand of dark secrets and a disturbing motive for finding the sisters.
