An intimate portrait of a family and an epic tale of hope and struggle, Sing, Unburied, Sing examines the ugly truths at the heart of the American story and the power - and limitations - of family bonds. Jojo is 13 years old and trying to understand what it means to be a man. His mother, Leonie, is in constant conflict with herself and those around her.

Son grand-père lui a tout appris : nourrir les animaux de la ferme, s'occuper de sa grand-mère malade, écouter les histoires, veiller sur sa petite sœur Kayla. De son autre famille, Jojo ne sait pas grand-chose. Ces blancs n'ont jamais accepté que leur fils fasse des enfants à une noire. Quant à son père, Michael, Jojo le connaît peu, d'autant qu'il purge une peine au pénitencier d'État.

Un uragano minaccia Bois Sauvage, in Mississippi. In un avvallamento chiamato la Fossa, tra rottami, baracche e boschi, vive la famiglia Batiste: un padre, tre fratelli e Esch, quindici anni, unica ragazzina in un mondo di uomini. Legge e rilegge la storia di Medea e Giasone, è innamorata di Manny, e scopre di essere incinta. Nei dodici giorni che scandiscono l'arrivo della tempesta, il legame tra i fratelli e la fiducia reciproca si rinsaldano, uniche luci nel buio della disgrazia incombente.
