Lured South by tales of buried treasure, Milkman embarks on an odyssey back home.

As a boy, Milkman was raised beneath the shadow of a status-obsessed father. As a man, he trails in the fiery wake of a friend bent on racial revenge.

Yet in return, he will discover something far more valuable than gold: his past, his true self, his life-long dream of flight.
