Joseph Whitsun is the favored manservant at Delora Plantation in the antebellum Charleston of 1834, but he finds his life changed forever when it is discovered that he can read. Perceived by the master's son as a threat to the stability of the plantation, Joseph would surely have been killed but for the intervention and presence of the elderly master.
