When a southern family is left with nothing in the time of the Great Depression, they move to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. There they’ll seek to find work, love, and a new life amongst the natural splendor. With sickness, poverty, and heartbreak always around the corner, the precocious Edith seeks out a mysterious creature for aid but quickly learns that no good deed comes without a price.
