Overview

He might be able to hold back the river. But could he hold back the greed of man?

Tom and Mae Garvey are a Tennessee farming couple battling violent floods to save their land.

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.
