Somewhere in the world there might have been another Hollis Brown. He might have lived in Kentucky or New Jersey, had no children, and smoked until his last dying day. Perhaps he lived in a city or in a cabin by a lake. Perhaps, even, he had a wife who spited him and a cat that clawed at his ankles. Somewhere else, somewhere here, in Chevron, South Dakota, Hollis Brown lived on a dried up oat farm. Every morning was the same, consisting of a cup of coffee, dry biscuits, and homemade strawberry jam. This was Hollis Brown......the unhappiest man in the world.It's 1935. At the height of the Dust Bowl, the Brown family faces every day with hardly any food or water. Everyone depends on Hollis, because he is the husband, the father, the man. But he doesn't want to be depended on anymore. In fact, he wants to escape this dwindling life he believes he's been thrust into for all of his past sins, but responsibility ties him down. If you had the power to leave, would you?
