Abraham and Sarah moved to the town of New Canaan, Illinois, to start a new life and raise their twin sons, Isaac and Ishmael. The worst wars are fought between brothers, and soon they have to make a choice: peace or self destruction. Set during the early 20th century with World War I and the Great Depression as backdrops, this multi-generational family saga explores the all-consuming, destructive nature of conflict, and the ultimate consequences of it.
