About a dirt poor family who pack all they have into their beat up pick up truck and head out in search of something better. They find work as migrant farm workers picking crops. They also quickly learn that their employment comes with a cost. They are held as virtual prisoners on what could be described as a cross between a slave plantation and a concentration camp. The corrupt head honcho has also developed a system to keep his employees from fleeing.

Ralph Waite's stalwart and steadfast TV homesteader John Walton will endure in the hearts of family-oriented viewers for decades to come. Educated at Bucknell University where he graduated with a BA degree, Waite existed rather aimlessly as a young adult while trying to find his way in the world. Occupations came and went, including social worker, religious editor for Harper & Row, and even Presbyterian minister after spending three years at the Yale School of Divinity.

Steinbeckish muckrakery melodramabacus that feels like a series of plausible but perfectly arranged atrocities punctuated by Paul Winfield's variations on "I done told ya to get outta Angel City!" A young Jennifer Jason Leigh is on hand to inaugurate the well-populated subgenre of Terrible Things Happening to Jennifer Jason Leigh.
