Mayo Cornelius Higgins sits on his gleaming, forty-foot steel pole, towering over his home on Sarah's Mountain and surveying the Appalachian hills that slope to the Ohio river. Stretched before him are rolling hills and shady valleys. But behind him lie the ugly wounds of strip mining, including a mountain of rubble that may one day fall and bury his home. M.C. dreams of escape for himself and his family. And, one day, atop his pole, he thinks he sees it - two strangers are making their way toward Sarah's Mountain. One has the ability to make M.C.'s mother famous. And the other has the kind of freedom that M.C. has never even considered. Past and Present, daydreams and reality inevitably clash, and M.C. must come to terms with family, heritage and his own desires.
