It{u2019}s 1953 and life is good at Shady{u2019}s, the Sweetwater brothers{u2019} fish camp, dancehall, and beer joint on Ransom Island. The biggest event in the island{u2019}s history is coming up{u2014}an integrated dance featuring Duke Ellington. It{u2019}s a daring idea for fifties-era Texas, and not everyone is happy about it. But soon interracial dancing becomes the least of the Sweetwaters{u2019} problems. Galveston mobsters track a runaway girl to Shady{u2019}s and decide the offbeat island is the perfect place to diversify their illegal rackets . . . And God help anyone who gets in their way. Suddenly, life on sleepy little Ransom Island becomes crowded, complicated{u2014}and very, very dangerous.
