Lee Goodwin es acusado de asesinato. El escenario del crimen es una casa oculta entre los árboles que alberga una destilería ilegal. Allí viven, entre otros, Ruby, una mujer que ha renunciado a todo por Lee, y Popeye, un sádico gánster marcado por una infancia terrible. El abogado Horace Benbow lucha para que Goodwin no sea juzgado por ser quien es, sino por los actos de los que le acusan. Para ello necesita la ayuda de Temple Drake, una adolescente que siente una extraña atracción por el peligro. Pero Temple ha desaparecido. Santuario fue la obra que dio a conocer a William Faulkner al gran público. Una historia escalofriante en la que caben toda la fuerza y la originalidad del genial novelista estadounidense.
