Synopsis

When a dead woman's body is discovered among the fields of Belle Vie, an antebellum plantation turned event venue near Baton Rouge, manager Caren Gray must navigate both a murder investigation and the explosive racial tensions simmering beneath her employees' polite veneer. As local law enforcement closes in, Caren uncovers layers of exploitation, racism, and violence tied to the estate's history — and its present.
