A mystery about hope, romance, murder and a juke joint just across the county line called the Delta Blues. Outcast and abandoned, a family in a nowhere Texas town finds courage to overcome poverty and humiliation only to face a very real threat to their lives as the past comes back to haunt them. Life is rarely as it seems in a town on the outskirts of nowhere and when events begin to smolder under a hot, Texas sun ... somebody is sure to get burned.
