The musical is based in the winter of 1934 in Duluth, Minnesota, right when America was in the middle of the Great Depression.

It tells the story of the Laine family. They’re at risk of losing their guesthouse to foreclosure, and the father is desperate to find a way to save his family from homelessness.
