When the store Alfred's parents owned closed, his family had to move to the farm as sharecroppers. Plagued by poverty and hunger, the family also faces land disputes and a court battle. Their mother's dying wish was that her children stay together and go to school. But without food in the house their father insists Alfred and his brothers leave school to work. As circumstances continue to get worse, the family finds they are evicted and homeless. Now they must survive in a tent in the woods. Is it even possible for Alfred to keep his promise?
