The play follows Herald Loomis as he searches for his wife Martha in a Pittsburgh boarding house in 1911. Loomis arrives with his daughter Zonia and seeks help from Selig, a "people finder." Throughout the story, Loomis confronts his past experiences of being illegally enslaved by Joe Turner and explores themes of identity and spirituality with guidance from Bynum Walker, an enigmatic conjure man.
