Tom and Mae Garvey are a Tennessee farming couple battling violent floods to save their land. In addition to natural disasters, the Garveys fight to stop a selfish land developer and a local corporation from foreclosing on their farm. While Mae stays at home to care for their children and tend to the crops, Tom finds work as a scab at a steel mill to preserve his family's property.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a pure drama focused on survival and economic hardship. The only listed Christmas element is a general 'Holiday Release,' which does not indicate narrative content. Based on the plot summary, there are no discernible Christmas elements in setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution."
