Description: Arthur and Jake are the sons of a local farmer in the mid-1930s. Arthur is reticent, solid, dutiful, and is set to inherit the farm and his father's character. Jake is younger, attractive, mercurial and dangerous to know. A young woman comes into the community and tips the fragile balance of sibling rivalry over the edge.
