Three estranged siblings return to rural Louisiana after a family loss leaves them responsible for their father's sugarcane farm. Charley, Ralph Angel and Nova bring very different experiences of work, parenting and responsibility to a shared inheritance that is both an opportunity and a burden. Their effort to keep the land exposes old wounds alongside the pressures facing their wider community. Journalist and activist Nova is a bisexual woman whose convictions do not always make her private choices easy. Her first-season connection with Chantal places love and political commitment in conversation, while the broader series follows a family learning how to disagree, reconnect and build a future.
