A rural Virginia family has their idyllic life interrupted by a series of unfortunate events. It all starts with the arrival of the Hatburns, three country hicks on the run from the law. They shack up with a cousin down the road from the Kinemons. David Kinemon is the youngest son and a mama's boy, living under the shadow of his older brother, a delivery driver for the mail. One day a sadistic Hatburn kills his dog and gravely injures his brother. His elderly father dies of a heart attack shortly afterwards. The family is forced to move to town where David gets a job in the local store. Eventually he gets his chance at delivering the mail, leading to a showdown with the Hatburns. It's essentially a variation of the old Hatfield and McCoy feud, briskly paced on real Virginia locations.
