In a Georgia town, before racial integration, the novel follows J. T. Malone, a pharmacist with little time left to live; Judge Fox Clane, obsessed with restoring the old South; his grandson Jester; and Sherman Pew, a young Black man with blue eyes. Their stories form an allegory about race, class, and individual responsibility.
