    Based on the celebrated novel by Ernest J. Gaines, this wrenching story is an elegant but harsh illumination of the search for grace and dignity. Set in backwoods Louisiana in 1948, an innocent young black man awaits execution for the death of a white man. A plantation school teacher, who questions his own self-worth, must confront the willful convict in the hopes of saving his soul before dying. However, it is the lessons the teacher learns from the condemned man that succeed in exposing purpose in his own life.
