John DeMarco

An "Urban American Graffiti" tale of choices, consequences, redemption and faith all woven into a gritty framework of tested relationships.

Emmett Murphy (Shane Hagedorn) is a Civil War veteran who returns to his Michigan home looking for peace. After his wife dies, he fulfills his promise to a dying soldier and brings the Negro widow, Haddie (Lauren LaStrada) and her daughter to stay with him and his son. The townsfolk aren’t ready for this modern family and a nefarious plot to remove them is hatched. Facing bigotry and greatly outnumbered, Emmett struggles to find faith. But when the circus train comes to town, a mysterious turn of events provide Emmett and his family with the unexpected help they need to overcome.

On the 50th Anniversary of his Father's failing business, Tommy is hoping to get someone to buy the business. His screw-up of a brother, Teddy, has blown the money for advertising and is doing everything to add to the failure.

WWI veterans on Harsens Island square off against the infamous 'Purple Gang' over illegal liquor in the 1920s.
