In 1948, a mysterious and charismatic man arrives in a small Virginia town carrying two suitcases. He soon inserts himself into the town’s daily life, taking a job in the local butcher shop and befriending the owner, his wife and their son. But the passion that develops between this man and the wife of the town’s wealthiest citizen sets in motion a series of events that not only upset the quiet town but threaten to destroy both him and the woman.
