Located in the heart of Tidewater Virginia, the 1,400-acre farm is hardly distinguishable from its neighbors along the James River. There are fields of soybeans, corn and peanuts; well-fed cattle roam the pastures.

His daughters are grown and liberated; his son is a chip off the old radical bloc. But when Orkney is called north to the bedside of his dying father, he begins to have cold-sweat dreams of his own mortality...
