When Molly Commander, matriarch of a powerful Southern family, dies in a car crash on a dark two-lane road on the Waccamaw Neck, a chain of events is set in motion, linking lowcountry life with the clandestine activities of the third largest bank in the country. From boardrooms and private clubs in New York and Atlanta to the lush setting of Pawleys Island and the South Carolina lowcountry, the main characters in the story, children of privilege all, come to grips with the contemporary greed of Wall Street and the complex responsibilities placed on them by great wealth. In this 30-somethings, coming-of-age story, peopled by characters who read like old friends, birthright places Molly's grandson and his close circle at the crossroads of opposing societal forces. Will they triumph to emerge as the new generation of leadership that must become today's South?
