In 1962, Eve Batiste, a 10-year-old girl, lives in a prosperous Creole-American community in Louisiana with her 9-year-old brother Poe and her 14-year-old sister Cisely.

Eve's relationship with her parents becomes more strained as she discovers more evidence of her father's serial infidelity.

Eve, who also has the spiritual gift of sight, has a premonitory dream shortly before an accident occurs that claims Mozelle's third husband.
