Overview

In 1918, when the wheat-farming townspeople of Waterville, Washington, welcome home their first wounded son from World War I, they're struck by war's harsh reality. As bigotry and hatred toward two German orphans divide the close-knit community, new schoolteacher Martin rolls into town with some strange ideas and an even stranger leather ball, striving to bring harmony to the town before it tears itself apart.
