On a struggling Texas plantation, the Lucys - as they call the plantation owners, after Lucifer himself - have decided to turn around the farm's bleak financial prospects by making the women bear children. They have hired a "stockman" to impregnate them. But six enslaved women are determined to protect themselves by when a doctoring woman has brought a sack of cotton root clippings that can stave off children when chewed daily. Should their plan be discovered, the consequences will be severe.
