In 1957 Pittsburgh, Troy Maxson lives in a modest house with his wife, Rose, and their teenage son, Cory.

He played well in the Negro leagues, but never made it to the major leagues because the color barrier was not broken until he was past his prime.

Lyons, Troy's son from a previous relationship, visits Troy on payday to borrow money, which upsets Troy, as he believes a man has a responsibility to work hard to find his own way and provide for his family.
