When tragedy shatters their New York life, siblings Lou and Oz are thrust into 1940s Virginia mountain country, a world where survival demands backbreaking labor and belonging must be earned. Under their fierce great-grandmother Louisa Mae's guidance, they discover that true wealth isn't measured in money but in land, heritage, and community. As corporate greed threatens to destroy their newfound home, the children learn that resilience isn't built alone, it's forged through faith, sacrifice, and the stories that bind generations together.
