It's the early 1900s. Lew, a young lawyer seeking his fortune in Indian Territory, meets a Creek Indian who needs help getting out of jail. Sam, the Indian, gives up part of his tribal land allotment to pay Lew's fee. It's just forty acres of scrubby dirt, not even suitable for farming.
The aftermath of that trade plays out in the lives of two families over three generations, spanning the twentieth century.
