Jeremiah hires a handsome new farmhand named Akin to help with the work on the farm. Akin's arrival causes a disruption in the already strained relationship between Jeremiah and Sarah.
As Akin starts to work on the farm, he begins to flirt with Sarah, who is drawn to his attention. Jeremiah, meanwhile, begins to feel jealousy and possessiveness, which further strains his relationship with Sarah. As the summer progresses, tensions build between the three characters, leading to a climactic and violent confrontation.
