Description
It’s 1961 when small-town life insurance agent Winston Taylor finds a man dead on the floor of a North Florida forest. Once he learns the identity of the deceased, Winston quickly realizes the corpse has the ability to incriminate him in his own unethical business practices. Protecting his family and career, Winston dumps the body into a wet sinkhole, vowing to clean up his transgressions and never tell a soul. Two years later, despite the current racial divide, he hires a new agent—a charismatic young Black man with a mysterious past. Unbeknownst to Winston, his recent recruit may hold the power to blow the sinkhole secret straight out of the water.
