In 1902, Soll (Robert Duvall), a Texas plantation owner who depends on convict labor to keep his farm running, takes a liking to Horace (Lukas Haas), a young boy who works the fields to raise money for his deceased father's headstone. Soll, however, is aging and sinking into senility, making the possibility of Horace ever getting his pay increasingly unlikely. Meanwhile, Soll's relationships with the African-American cons working the farm are complex and informed by both racism and compassion.
