Harlow Purdy, newly released from prison, and his son Roy journey across Depression-era America, chasing dreams of a better life in California. But as they toil under harsh conditions in a fruit grove, they face the grim reality of exploitation. Will their bond withstand the trials of a world that offers little mercy? Can they find a way to rise above the challenges and reclaim their future? This poignant tale explores resilience, hope, and the unyielding spirit of a father and son against the backdrop of a nation in turmoil.
