Almost overnight, Arthur Wise has become one of the wealthiest and most powerful attorneys in America. His first big purchase is a simple beach house in Bluepoint, on Cape Cod. There, in the summer of 1952, Arthur's teenage son, Hilly, makes friends with Lem Dawson, a black man who cares for the house. When Hilly falls for Lem's niece, Savannah, his affection collides with his father's dark secrets. The results shatter both families. Years later, Hilly sets out to find Savannah and attempt to right the wrongs he set in motion.
