About the show

In 1918 South Carolina, Julia, a Black seamstress, and Herman, a white baker, have been together for ten years but cannot marry under anti-miscegenation laws. When Herman falls ill, racial hostility and fear of legal consequences keep Julia’s neighbors and his family from helping; after his death, Julia gives their planned escape tickets and wedding band to a neighbor facing her own marriage barriers.
