SYNOPSIS:

Two families from different eras, one White and one Black, are inextricably linked by a violent family legacy and a historic home that holds a haunting secret. The story unfolds across two timelines, intricately weaving their lives together through violence, love, acceptance, and the discovery of a shared past.

Set in the 1940s and 2018, the story narrative revolves around Patrick Henderson, an African-American man facing racial tension and discrimination, and Amy, a young, expectant White woman navigating her family’s racist past. Fate and a determined spirit haunting Amy’s new home draws these two protagonists together, uniting them through a hidden history enmeshed in the walls of a Civil War-era duplex.

The 1940s storyline delves into the powerful love between Patrick and Albert, a White man, as they defy the prejudices of their time to embrace a forbidden romance. Amid external challenges and internal struggles, they find solace in each other’s arms, leaving an enduring love story that echoes through time. In 2018, Amy, Albert’s great-grandniece, uncovers this buried history.

As Patrick nears the end of his life, at nearly 100-years of age, he seeks to be near Albert’s spirit, which haunts their former home. However, their lives intersect with Patrick’s lifelong racist tormentor, George – Amy’s Great Grandfather, forcing them to confront the consequences of a legacy rife with racism and homophobia.

Despite grappling with her family’s prejudiced past, Amy finds acceptance and compassion in the embrace of Candace, Patrick’s granddaughter, and her family. Amy and Brad, her husband, forge a profound connection with the elder Patrick and Candace, learning invaluable life lessons from their unwavering love, acceptance, and forgiveness.

Their journey to secure both of their families’ legacies becomes a race against time to save their children’s futures. Only through love and acceptance can they ensure a brighter, inclusive tomorrow for their families, bridging the gap between generations and rewriting the narrative of their shared history.
