    Bogate plantažerske obitelji Warwick, Wyndham i Toliver žive raskošnim južnjačkim životom u Aleji plantaža u Južnoj Carolini. Na prvi je pogled sve savršeno, ali ispod površine tinjaju mnoge uzavrele strasti, sukobi i nepravde. Silas Toliver je oporukom svojeg oca praktički razbaštinjen, a svojeglava kći okružnog moćnika Carsona Wyndhama osramotila je cijelu obitelj time što je pomagala bijeg robova s robovlasničkih imanja. U umu njezina lukavog oca rodila se zamisao kako da se riješi svoje prkosne kćeri i spasi obiteljsku čast. Znajući za Silasov davnašnji san da napusti zemlju svojih predaka i naseli se u uzbudljivoj zemlji novih mogućnosti Texasu, kao i za njegovu besparicu, Carson predlaže Silasu da se oženi njegovom kćeri i dobije sve što mu srce poželi. To možda i ne bi bila pogodba s vragom da Silas nije zaručen za prelijepu učiteljicu Lettie koja je luda za njim… U stoljeću ljubavi, mržnje, rata i mira, pratimo sudbinu triju naraštaja Toliverovih, Warwickovih i DuMontovih i njihova nastojanja da usprkos svim udarcima sudbine ostvare svoje snove.

    East Texas, 1916 In the great mansions of Houston Avenue, Howbutker, live the town's founding families: Toliver, Warwick and DuMont. Over generations they have settled their differences by exchanging roses: a red rose to ask for forgiveness and a white rose to accept. But when precocious teenager Mary Toliver inherits cotton plantation Somerset from her father Vernon, the first seeds of discontent are sown. And it is not the last time Mary will sell her soul for the sake of the family soil. When she declines the proposal of handsome timber magnate Percy Warwick, it is a shattering choice that will spell heartbreak for generations to come.
