In the year 1944, Veronica toils tirelessly to make ends meet, her primary focus being on securing her next meal. The notion of someday owning her family's home flickers in her mind, a distant hope overshadowed by the harsh realities of daily life. Amidst her relentless work routine, Veronica brushes aside any whimsical thoughts that dare to intrude, including the unsettling whispers of a mysterious fire and the ghostly murmurs attempting to reach her. She also dismisses the lingering gaze of her boss's son, a distraction she cannot afford.
Despite her efforts to remain aloof, Veronica finds herself inexplicably drawn to Lazlo, a striking black soldier she encountered while processing enlistments at the draft office. As her fascination with Lazlo deepens, so too does her awareness of the dark undercurrents flowing through her hometown of Harrisville. Working in the cigarette factory, Veronica confronts the grim reality of her surroundings, where death lurks among the tobacco leaves alongside the insects.
With each passing day, Veronica's resolve to ignore Lazlo wanes, unravelling the veil of ignorance she once cloaked herself in. As she confronts the unsettling truths lurking beneath the surface of Harrisville, Veronica realises that the town's decay runs deeper than she ever imagined. It's a revelation that should have come as no surprise, given the eerie atmosphere that permeates her workplace—a place where death and decay intertwine amidst the tobacco fields.
