Samuel and Isaiah are young slaves on a big cotton plantation “known by its rightful name: Empty,” and overseen by Paul Halifax and his wife, Ruth. The two slaves have been lovers for a while, stealing moments of tender passion in the hayloft of the barn where they care for farm animals. Other slaves know and don’t much care<\/p>\n

that the two well-liked men are a couple. Amos, a slave-preacher who’s been tutored in the Bible by the pious, hypocritical Paul, decides to condemn Samuel and Isaiah to his flock. When Paul and his overseer find out, they devise a sadistic punishment for the lovers.”<\/p>\n
