Set in rural Colorado during the 1940s, the film follows Livy (Keri Russell), a young woman who finds herself at a crossroads in life. Livy, a college-educated woman, is pregnant and unmarried, an unfortunate situation for her family in the early 1940s. Faced with societal pressure and the possibility of scandal, Livy’s father arranges a marriage for her to Ray Singleton (Skeet Ulrich), a quiet, reserved farmer who lives on a remote farm.

The marriage is not based on love, but rather on the need to preserve Livy’s reputation and to provide her with a stable home during a time of war. WATCH:
