The story is set in the highlands of Tennessee and follows the life of Lance Cleaverage, a young man navigating courtship and social dynamics in a rural community.

The opening of the book introduces the setting on a vibrant Sunday in the Tennessee highlands, highlighting the differences in the characters' social standings and aspirations. Lance is portrayed as a free-spirited and somewhat rebellious figure, challenging societal norms with his banjo, while Callista is depicted as a beautiful and carefully groomed girl, the subject of much male affection and competition.
