The people of a county in the southern Appalachian highlands have looked to Judge Jonathan Steadings to administer justice and keep the peace among the Cherokee, the Negroes, and the white folk on their mountain for more than two decades, but when a prominent white member of the community commits an unspeakable evil against a young black musician, the judge cannot give the people the justice they seek and a local war appears to be inevitable. The Harvard educated judge who came back south to his roots after law school loves his people - all of them - and struggles to avoid this war and the suffering and bloodshed that it would cause, but the very law that he seeks to administer works against him. What does a judge do when the law doesn't work?
