Sono gli anni Quaranta del Novecento. I Blood vivono nelle campagne del Vermont, quasi ignari dei tumulti che attraversano il mondo, e cercano disperatamente di resistere e mandare avanti una fattoria che di anno in anno diventa sempre meno redditizia. Ma all’improvviso nella vita del maggiore dei figli, Loyal, succede qualcosa che cancella di colpo i suoi progetti, costringendolo ad abbandonare tutto ciò che ha. Senza dare spiegazioni Loyal lascia la casa paterna – che in sua assenza non ha alcuna possibilità di sopravvivere – e si mette in viaggio.

Phil and George are brothers and joint owners of the biggest ranch in their Montana valley. Phil is the bright one, George the plodder. Phil is tall and angular; George is stocky and silent.

They sleep in the room they shared as boys, and so it has been for 40 years. When George unexpectedly marries a young widow and brings her to live at the ranch, Phil begins a relentless campaign to destroy his brother's new wife.
