Lily Owens is a young girl haunted by the memory of her mother, who died in an accident when Lily was just a toddler. When Rosaleen, a woman hired to look after Lily by her father, insults some pivotal figures in the town, Lily and her are forced to flee and find a new home. They come across August, who allows them to stay with her as long as they help with life on her farm. The longer Lily stays on the farm, the more she learns about life, family and making honey.

Drama set in 1964 South Carolina, based on the novel by Sue Monk Kidd. Dakota Fanning stars as Lily Owens, the fourteen-year-old daughter of a fruit farm owner who is violent and abusive towards her. Her mother died in a horrific accident when Lily was a toddler, and she is cared for by her black nanny, Rosaleen (Jennifer Hudson). When Rosaleen ends up in jail after getting in trouble with a group of racist men in their local town, Lily frees her and the pair run away together, ending up at a honey farm owned by the Boatwright sisters, August (Queen Latifah), June (Alicia Keys) and May (Sophie Okonedo). Lily is taken on by the sisters as a beekeeping apprentice, and eventually discovers that her new 'family' has deep and unexpected connections with her late mother.
