We live! We love! We fight! We hate! What don't we do for - OUR DAILY BREAD
John and Mary Sims are city-dwellers hit hard by the financial fist of The Depression.

The newborn community suffers many hardships - drought, vicious raccoons and the long arm of the law - but ultimately pull together to reach a bread-based Utopia.
