Over the Devil's Back
Manage episode 342421976 series 3258571
If you knew a secret, a terrible secret, one that could destroy a family, would you keep your silence? Would you choose friendship over justice? Would you hide the truth to protect someone you love? What would you do if you were only nine years old?
The summer of 1999 begins on a joyous note for best friends Gabrielle Westin, the white daughter and granddaughter of the wealthy and powerful Remington-Westin clan, and Leander Washington, the African American son of a family of modest means. The children's deep and platonic friendship is sealed in their emotional blood sibling's ceremony, in which they pledge commitment to one another throughout life and vow to have no secrets between them.
Over The Devil's Back spans twenty years and tells the story of a complicated family, each member struggling to come to terms with temptation, past regrets and long-held secrets.
