In rural Texas 1902, 13-year-old Horace (Haas) toils on a run-down
plantation to buy a tombstone for the father he lost a year earlier.
Soll (Duvall), the crusty old Confederate who owns the plantation, has
yet to pay the boy a penny of the money he owes him. But on Christmas
Eve, as Soll becomes obsessed with his own mortality, he makes a grand
promise forcing Horace to confront his fear of death and the harsh
truths of a decadent society.
