From the legendary Cormac McCarthy, author of Blood Meridian and Pulitzer Prize winner, The Gardener's Son is the story of two families: one, who owns the local cotton mill, and a family of mill workers afflicted by fate.

Two years ago, Robert McEvoy was involved in an accident that led to the amputation of his leg. Consumed by bitterness and anger, he quit his job at the mill and left. Now, the news of his mother’s terminal illness brings him back home. What he finds upon his return ignites the slow-burning anger he holds inside – a rage that may consume him . . .

This tight, compelling drama was Cormac McCarthy's first screenplay. It was directed by Richard Pearce and produced as a two-hour movie in 1976 for the PBS series, Visions.
