This alliance is tested when a greedy individual enters the picture – the husband of the majority landowner who seeks to capitalize on this lucrative opportunity at any cost.The narrative delves into themes of perseverance, friendship, and standing up against exploitation, set against the backdrop of post-war America's tumultuous period of socioeconomic change.
