At his family's disintegrating tobacco plantation, he finds his father a sick shell, echoing with remembrances of the South's past and pointedly deaf to the whistle of a passing train. Duncan's sister is about to marry a progressive-minded preacher who is less interested in racial equality than he is in evening the score with erstwhile "first families" like the Welshes.
