An American marriage

Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South.

He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career.

But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined.

Roy is arrested and sentenced to 12 years for a crime Celestial knows he didn't commit.

Though fiercely independent, Celestial finds herself bereft and unmoored, taking comfort in Andre, her childhood friend and best man at their wedding.

As Roy's time in prison passes, she is unable to hold on to the love that has been her centre.
