VERDE VALLEY - It's post World War II in 1948, and ex-Marine Jack Marrisan is stuck in a dead-end job in Phoenix working for his uncle. Desperate to free his life from its deepening rut, Marrisan quits his job and moves to Jerome into a vacant home owned by his parents. The once-booming mining town is suffering through economic death throes.
