Elm Village is completely controlled by the tyrannical village bully Hale Bolden, who marks off restricted areas to expose villagers to the sun as a show of force. The entire village is furious but too afraid to speak out, no one dares cross the forbidden line. A reclusive son-in-law living in the village steps forward, breaks the boundary to save a dying villager, stops a forced demolition excavator with his bare hands, confronts the bully's forces head-on, and uses his own flesh and blood to awaken the entire village's courage to resist.
