Inspired by a true story. In the heart of Maury County, Tennessee, during the tumultuous 1920s, fourteen-year-old Pricilla Powell wants more out of life and flees an arranged marriage to her moonshiner gunslinger cousin, but murder brings her back.
Driven by desperation, Pricilla makes a daring escape and finds refuge in Belle Barker's saloon as a kitchen helper. Through cracks in the kitchen door and the scent of whiskey mingled with sweat and tobacco, Pricilla learns about life. Belle and the girls at the speakeasy stir a spirit of rebellion in her. Realizing her innocence and desire for more out of life, Belle devises a clever ruse to stage Pricilla's death, granting her the chance to flee to Nashville with a mysterious benefactor. Four years later, with the help of a mentor, she has an education, has become an acclaimed horsewoman, and has finally met her wealthy, young benefactor, Clint Wilder. The beautiful debutante is happy until fate intervenes; a trial summons her back to her hometown, where she must confront the chilling reality of facing the man who embodies her greatest fears. The stakes are high, and the battle for her freedom is just beginning.
