On the barrier island of Sapelo, brothers JerMarkest and Johnathan are growing up in the last remaining enclave of the Saltwater Geechee people. Their greatest joy is exploring the island like their adoptive mother Cornelia Walker Bailey did as a child.
As Sapelo’s storyteller and elder matriarch, Cornelia works to preserve what remains of this unique community established by her ancestors. Reflecting on the complicated splendor of her youth, Cornelia strives to shepherd her young sons during their adolescence. While sons inherit her hope, their bond is tested as they begin to face the wider world.
