After the Promise
Elmer Jackson (Mark Harmon) is a carpenter in a small California town in the 1930s. Struggling to bring up four young boys after his wife's death, he's horrified when the government, citing trumped-up charges of parental neglect, places the boys in various foster homes and institutions, unaware of the abuse that the boys might suffer there. The conditions imposed by the court and the difficulties caused by the Depression make Jackson's determined and vigorous quest to find his boys extremely difficult.
