Together he and Marilee will face danger in the fight for their newfound dreams., Returning to her childhood home in Depression-era New Mexico, pregnant and penniless widow Marilee is distraught to learn of her father's death and her mother's alcoholism but vows to revive the family's motor court business, which has been taken over by a dangerous bootlegger.
