The River

Plot:
Tom and Mae Garvey are a hard working farming couple living with their two
children on the east Tennessee farm owned by Tom's family for generations. They
and many of their neighbors have hit hard times of late. A downturn in the
economy has led to dwindling land prices. But the biggest problem of late has
been that their crop land has been prone to flooding as the property is adjacent
to a river. Manipulating the powers that be including a local senator and the
local bank, Joe Wade, who also grew up in the area and now runs the local
milling company that sets the local grain prices, is working behind the scenes
to buy up the properties along the river for a song as he wants to build a dam
which would flood the Garvey's and others riverfront properties. The dam would
generate electricity, but more importantly for Joe it would provide irrigation
opportunities for farm properties away from the river, such as his own. Tom
already intensely dislikes Joe as he and Mae used to go together. Joe's
behind-the-scenes manoeuvrings coupled with the continuation of these and many
other farming problems makes it increasingly difficult for the Garveys to hold
onto their farm, Tom who seems determined at any cost to stay on the land of his
ancestors.
