Returned from his WWII service to find his parents dead and their farm foreclosed, Noah Locke (Chris Klein) grabbed what he had left--his fishing gear--and started wandering the South. Coming upon a picturesque lakeside village, he makes a fast bond with a mute boy (Zach Mills) and his widowed mother (Gretchen Mol)...and may have regained the sense of family he’d lost. Beautifully mounted take on the Terry Kay novel co-stars Robert Prosky, Jay O. Sanders, Stephen Tobolowsky, Geoff Pierson. 97 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
