The story takes place at United States Army's Fort Neal, Louisiana in 1944 during the time when the military was racially segregated. Captain Richard Davenport, a rare black Army “officer”, has been sent to investigate a killing. Waters' men hated him because Waters himself treated Southern black men in utter disdain and contempt.
