The uneducated Jefferson is convicted of a crime he didn't commit. His mother engages the educated Grant to help her son, to elevate him by teaching him before he dies.

It is about an African American man named Grant during the years of black oppression, and he was a smart man. He wanted to not face the burdens of the black community and wants to create a better life for himself since he has never faced that oppression and therefore didn't lose hope.
