This love story with all its challenges and triumphs parallels Romeo & Juliet, replete with disapproving families and the bonds of culture and tradition. A beautifully told story of timeless love that will touch your heart. From his wife’s deathbed, William Ward (Glover) dives under the gloomy waters of his memory to recall the love story of his life with Venus, a Native American beauty descended from the mystical Lightning Clan, a peculiar and “electric” Native family living in Arkansas.
