This was a somber story about a veteran named Toby and the community wary of him. Only Annabelle, an adolescent farm girl, believes Toby to be gentle and kind despite the burdens he carries. When Annabelle's bully Betty disappears, Toby is believed to be behind her disappearance. This follows their complicated journey of balancing family, friends, community, and the varying pasts of all kinds of people.
