Information: Short Synopsis Roper is illiterate. He is poor, hardworking black man in the unforgiving heart of south Georgia, striving each day to put distance between his new life and his probation for a petty crime one year earlier. At sunrise he mounts the tractor belonging to Math Taylor, a prominent white landowner, and grooms the vast grounds of the Taylor home until one morning, when Roper's routine goes terribly wrong.
