New York City, 1940s. In a crumbling tenement in Harlem, Lutie Johnson is a black woman determined to build a new life for herself and her eight-year-old boy, Bub. Having left her unreliable husband, Lutie believes that with hard work and resolve, she can begin again. She struggles to earn money and raise her son amid violence, poverty and racial discrimination. Lutie is a woman alone, 'too good-looking to be decent', with predators at every turn.
