Hank Stamper and his father, Henry, own and operate the family business by cutting and shipping logs in Oregon. The town is furious when they continue working despite the town going broke and the other loggers go on strike ordering the Stampers to stop, however Hank continues to push his family on cutting more trees. Hank's wife wishes he would stop and hopes that they can spend more time together. When Hank's half brother Leland comes to work for them, more trouble starts.

**Is it right for your kids?** A rating tells you what a board thought. It does not tell you whether your eight year old will be bored, or whether there is one scene you will be explaining in the car afterward.

We are building the answer families actually want: the honest take from households you know, matched to the ages of the children in your house. [Sign in to get started](/login).
