Shell is a young man blindly pursuing the affection of two girls. Despite his feeble father's advice, he follows a kindhearted Indian planter to work on his plantation along the river, in hopes of wooing the man's daughter, Rosalie. When he falls for Joan, a sweet, sensible girl from the city, a love triangle ensues. Shell learns bittersweet lessons of life and love that will define his manhood and alter his future forever.
