Once Judge Arlee was a powerful figure in Clanton, Mississippi-a pill er of to he community who towered over local law and politic for forty years. Now the judge is a shadow of his former self, a sick , lonely old man who has withdrawn to his sprawling ancestral home. Knowing the end is near. Judge Arlee has issued a summons for his two sons to return to Clinton to discuss his estate,. Ray Arlee is the eldest, a Virginia haw professer, newly single and still enduring the aftershocks of a surprise divorce. Forest is Ray's younger brother, who redefines the notion of a family's black sheep.
The summons is typed by the judge himself, on his handsome old stationery and gives the date and time for Ray and Forest to appear in his study.. Ray reluctantly heads south to his hometown, to the place to avoid. But the family meeting does not take p;ace. The judge eies too soon, and in-doing so leaves behind a shocking secret known only to Ray. And perhaps someone else.
