A plantation owner in the antebellum American South walks across his field and disappears - in plain view of his family, his neighbors and the slaves - forever altering their world. Everyone has his or her own theory of what that “disappearance” means, of why it had to happen, and of what will happen now that there is a “hole” where a man used to be.

Sung in English.
