It's 1856. Young couple, Robert and Mamie Eunson, arrives in Eureka, Wisconsin. They are new Scottish immigrants invited by her uncle, but he died three weeks earlier. They set out to build a life in the new world with help from friendly locals. It's the trials and tribulations of the Eunson family when tragedy leaves six young ones on their own.
This needs to get to the children alone a bit sooner. That seems to be the heart of the drama. It's well past the midway point before the kids are alone. After the initial section, that's the most compelling part of the movie. It is the heart of the matter and the movie needs to get there sooner. I would give more time for Robbie to develop as a character. It's a solid performance from the kid. He just needs more time as the lead.
