George Pemberton is an ambitious timber baron in Depression-era North Carolina who meets and falls for Serena Shaw, a sharp-wisted woman with a painful past. They marry, and she moves onto his land, where her presence reshapes the dynamic of his enterprise and tests his authority even as she wears a charcoal-smile of affection. The union draws the attention of George’s business circle, and Buchanan, his trusted partner, begins to feel squeezed as Serena’s influence grows, quietly steering decisions and questions toward her own aims.
