Flower shop customers watch a man purchase elaborate gifts for his sweetheart, but they never know the real reasons behind the purchases are deeper than they have guessed.

The year is 1929. James Lewis is a police photographer in a small suburb. His job involves high risks and little reward. Jem finds himself struggling to find a true standard of justice amid his turbulent times. Ella Reinhardt is a banker's daughter. Her mother died at an early age and Ella is left alone in their spacious home with her preoccupied father and a mystery her mother left behind. Jem and Ella are linked together as, quietly and unobtrusively, a thunder cloud threatens to drench them in a downpour that will reveal a mystery and leave an indelible mark. In every life there are hard choices to make. Only God can know what the world will look like beyond the storm.

Six Man, Texas is community and commitment and survival. Set against the backdrop of shrinking rural economies, it is a story of tiny towns with schools too small for 11-man football. Over 120 rural schools in Texas play a six-man version. Everyone in town attends, embracing the players as family. This sense of community keeps hope alive in the midst of increasing economic pressures. Three Way School finally succumbs, graduating its last class of eight seniors and ending generations of community pride and continuity. But tiny Aquilla has its first ever Cinderella season. Can Aquilla win, and win what really counts? Can the rural towns of Six Man, Texas keep their schools open and keep playing the game that unifies and defines their small communities?
