Pourtant, lorsque Valuable Korner, jeune Blanche de quinze ans déjà enceinte, est abandonnée par sa mère, prostituée locale, c'est dans le quartier noir de la ville qu'elle va trouver refuge. Là, elle se liera d'amitié avec Even Grade, un orphelin noir de vingt-huit ans, et sa compagne Joody Deux Soleils, une métisse pratiquant le vaudou, qui la prendront sous leur aile."
