[4] Left without men in the dying days of the American Civil War, three Southern women - two white sisters, Augusta and Louise, and one African-American slave, Mad - must fight to defend their home and themselves from two rogue soldiers who have broken off from the fast-approaching Union Army.

Henry rapes Louise and is shot dead by Mad, and Augusta injures Moses, but does not kill him.

[5] Hart's script was inspired by her learning that her friends had two skeletons dating from the Civil War in their backyards and wondering how they got there.

The website's critics consensus states: "Aided by its spare setting and committed performances, The Keeping Room is just fascinatingly off-kilter enough to overcome its frustrating stumbles.
