Just south of the Mason-Dixon line in Delaware in the 1950s, two young girls await the release of their mother from confinement (or is it a ‘50’s incarceration?) in a mental institution. Their aunt acts as their guardian in the Garden Court apartment complex whose grounds are tenderly cared for by a disturbed racist. The heat rises when the girls’ mother is released from the mental hospital and a young black boy from Chicago trespasses on the property. Conflicting personalities and disparate approaches to life, two sets of sisters find each other in the green world of Little Creek.
