After forty years of wandering, E.F. Bloodworth has returned to his hometown - a forgotten corner of Tennessee - to start anew. Several years have passed since he abandoned his wife, and his three sons are now grown and enraged. In this episode, Warren is described as "a womanizing drunkard," Boyd is motivated by jealousy to track down his wife and her boyfriend, and Brady casts hexes on his adversaries from his mother's front porch. It is only Fleming, the old man's grandson, who treats him with the decency that his age demands, and who looks through all of the hatred to recognize the danger it poses to a man's soul. Finally, it is Fleming's love for Raven Lee, a sloe-eyed beauty from another town, who gives him the strength to reject the curse that has been thrust upon him.
