Set in the post-Civil War South, it explores themes of social change and personal identity within the backdrop of the Virginia tobacco fields. The story revolves around Christopher Blake, the heir to the Blake estate, whose circumstances and history are intricately tied to the land, his family legacy, and the coalitions and conflicts that arise within this rural Southern community. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to various characters and settings that establish the social dynamics of the community. The opening chapters depict Christopher Blake on his land, working under difficult circumstances while grappling with his family's past and the changes wrought by both the war and the ensuing social shifts. As he navigates his relationships with other local figures, such as the former overseer Bill Fletcher, the narrative hints at deep-seated resentments and rivalries that complicate the lives of all involved. The introduction of external characters like the lawyer Carraway, alongside familial tensions and personal struggles, foreshadows a rich exploration of conflict, ambition, and the weight of history that will unfold in the novel.
