When Ewan McKay travels with his aunt and uncle from northern Scotland to West Virginia, he has plans to trade his skills in the clay business for financial assistance from his uncle Hugh. He begins by working with a brickmaking operation recently purchased by Hugh from a Civil War widow and her daughter, Laura. But when Hugh signs a bad business deal, it is up to Ewan, with help from Laura, to save the brickworks...and maybe win Laura's heart in the process.
