A tale of the journey of a young adult not knowing where he belongs, Beckett Hayes searches for an answer. In the middle of a night, the history of his family begins to unravel as he's drawn in by a force that he cannot explain. That force draws him out of his comfort zone and into the rural deep south. As he begins to uncover truths of the past, the past begins to uncover truths about himself. With each step forward, less and less begins to make sense as if like the roots of a Magnolia tree, there's more meaning to be found.
