In the small Southern community of Twin Pines, GA lives Noah Dearborn (Sidney Poitier), a master craftsman and farmer who cherishes his solitude almost as much as the local townspeople cherish him, especially restaurant owner Sarah McClellan (Dianne Wiest). But when greedy real estate developers set their sights on Noah's land and he rejects their six-figure offer, this taciturn man is forced to summon all his strength in order to defend not only his property and way of life but also his sanity. From start to finish, this inspiring story of one man's struggle to preserve an uncomplicated existence in today's all-too-complicated world is a feast for the senses and a banquet for the soul.
