Plot

Ephraim Cabot, a man brimming with life despite his advancing years, harbors an insatiable love for his New England farm. His sons, products of two wives whom he drove to premature graves, share his voracious greed, but also a resentful hatred towards him. The embittered Eben, whose mother was the farm's original owner, believes he is the rightful heir. The plot thickens when Ephraim introduces Anna, his new wife, into the mix. She proves to be a formidable contender for the farm's inheritance. In a strategic move, Eben convinces his brothers to leave, offering them their share of the farm in fare money. All the while, Anna attempts to ignite a spark of desire, provocatively brushing against Eben. The undercurrents of lust, greed, and inheritance intertwine in this gripping saga, as each character battles for what they believe is rightfully theirs. The New England farm stands at the heart of their struggles, an object of desire that stirs the embers of passion and conflict under the elms.
