1919. Stefan and his father Mike fled Ukraine for Winnipeg, where they struggle to earn enough to re-unite the family. Stefan is instantly smitten with his Jewish suffragette neighbour, Rebecca – but Rebecca’s brother Moishe and Mike oppose the would-be Romeo and Juliet. Returned soldiers, angry at the lack of jobs after the war, violently threaten the city’s immigrants, including Emma, the refugee from white supremacism in Oklahoma. When a movement develops for workers to leave their jobs in protest, A.J. Anderson, a wealthy lawyer, pits all against each other in a dramatic and inspirational final stand.
