Willie (played by Sean Penn) is a politician living in Louisiana, with grand ideals and ambitions for his career. For a long time, farmers working on southern plantations have suffered very unfair treatment. Willie takes it upon himself to advocate for their welfare and rights, and over time, his efforts pay off as the farmers' living conditions gradually improve. They wholeheartedly support Willie, viewing him as their leader. In the election, with strong support from the farmers, Willie is successfully elected as a congressman. However, as his power grows, Willie gradually forgets his original intentions. To climb higher, he begins to resort to all means to suppress his competitors and engage in political maneuvering.
