"A Lesson Before Dying is set in a small Cajun community in the late 1940s. Jefferson, a young black man, is an unwitting party to a liquor store shootout in which three men are killed; the only survivor, he is convicted of murder and sentenced to death." Grant Wiggins, a local plantation school teacher, is persuaded by his aunt to visit Jefferson in his cell, to impart his learning and his pride to Jefferson before his death.
