Description:
In rural Tennessee, a young bureaucrat working for the Tennessee Valley Authority is assigned to build a dam. He faces strong opposition from the local community, especially a farmer who objects to the employment of Black laborers. Amidst this conflict, a love story blossoms between the bureaucrat and the widowed granddaughter of an elderly woman being forced to leave her home on a river island.
