Class bigotry is alive and well in the small southern town of Gaines. The residents of the affluent Rosemont section hold the less fortunate residents of the Dusttown section in disdain. As a young girl from Dusttown in love with a boy from Rosemont, Marlena Rhodes experienced the pain that kind of bigotry inflicts. While that bigotry destroyed her relationship with her first love, Winston Taylor, it made Marlena determined to prove the bigots of her hometown wrong. When she comes back to town as an acclaimed attorney, Marlena finds things haven't changed much, including her feelings for Winston and his for her.
