Following the death of his father, 13-year-old George (Gage Munroe), is staying with his grandparents, Bo and Cora McCray (James Brolin and Barbara Gordon) on their dairy farm until after Christmas.
With the arrival of the first snows they are struggling to keep the family farm running
and George has to help with the milking as well as driving the snow plough, but
he finds a trusty shoulder to lean on in the shape of a dog called Tucker,
which the McCrays were looking
after while their neighbour Mr Thorne (Ron Lea), was in jail for drunk driving.
But when Thorne is released he wants Tucker back,
and that’s when the story really starts.
It’s
a nice story, well photographed with a fine cast, but the pick of the bunch for
me was Helen Colliander as George’s special school friend Mary Ann.
