For most of its running time, "The Secret Path" is a simplistic, terribly earnest story of race relations in the Old South until it turns into something far stranger -- a tonally flat drama that plays like an after-school special about white slavery.

This made-for-television drama film, based loosely on the book by Rose Mary Evans, tells the story of a young girl's struggle to find a loving family in World War II-era Tennessee. The story begins as author Jo Ann Foley overhears her teen daughter Lydia gossiping with a friend about their "white trash" classmate. Having decided to "go back after all," Jo Ann brings a reluctant Lydia along on a road trip to Tennessee and shows her the small, rundown shack where she grew up. Forty years in the past, Jo Ann's mother Marie's is distressed as her bootlegger father Hank takes her newborn away, declaring that they cannot have another mouth to feed. He leaves the infant on the side of the road, but soon she somehow reappears on their front porch, bearing a crucifix necklace and a stern note. Seven years later, young Jo Ann is thrilled when Marie's GI boyfriend Carl promises to take them to Kokomo, though she is soon forced to attend the local school alongside Bobby, her uncle of the same age. She flees from the classroom in embarrassment when she cannot point out Kokomo on the map, and when Bobby pursues her, they encounter an elderly black man, "Too Tall." Bobby immediately offends Too Tall with his prejudiced attitude, but Jo Ann accompanies him home and meets his warmhearted wife, Honey, who immediately takes a shine to the unhappy girl.
