Accused barn burner and conman Ben Quick arrives in a small Mississippi town and quickly ingratiates himself with its richest family, the Varners.
A charming drifter infiltrates a wealthy Mississippi family only to find himself entangled in a web of old grudges and local suspicion. This sweltering Southern noir thrives on the friction between a smooth-talking rogue and a town determined to see him burn.
