Pennsylvania, 1854: German Immigrant John Linden struggles to set up a homestead in the mountains with his brother’s widow Flora and her two young sons Caspar and Georgie.

John has nothing in common with his adopted family but works long hours in town to provide for the clan. John is often frustrated that his responsible character has put his own life on hold. Flora, a woman of faith, is very grateful for John’s obligation. She understands his discontent and works hard to be the best sister-in-law possible under the circumstances. John, a man of no faith, is haunted daily with his obligation and tries to put-off his selfishness for the sake of his nephews. Boys whom he dearly loves.
Caspar and Georgie love to explore the woods at their doorstep. A child’s paradise full of adven-ture. Boundaries are set by Flora and John to not venture too far from their campsite, and the boys honor their elders wishes. Sadly, one amazingly beautiful day of adventure calls the boys deeper into their woods than normal and they do not return home.
Flora and John worry when the boys are not in their beds come morning. The neighboring com-munity steps in to help the young couple. As time passes they suspect the young foreigners with foul-play. An attitude that creates fear inside both John and Flora. A mysterious brutal attack frightens the young couple.
