Description
An orphan named Terry spends the summer with his aunt at her newly-inherited colonial rice plantation outside Savannah, Georgia. What appears to be a long, hot, boring summer soon turns into a cool, creepy mystery! Pickpocket Plantation entertains some surprise visitors. The past and the present collide in a stormy drama. A boy's body is autopsied on a lawyer's boardroom table. The Weeping Time of slave trading haunts Terry. He is also attacked by an angry bull alligator. Terry and his aunt are forced to confront their past, the future, and one another. A boy tries to figure it all out, and in the process takes a giant step into becoming his own man.
