The people of Tregaron arent happy that so many Orthodox Jews are moving in at once, but thats not Hoodies problem.
That is, until he meets and falls for Anna-Marie Diaz-OLearywho happens to be the daughter of the obstinate mayor trying to keep Hoodies community out of the town. And things only get more complicated when Tregaron is struck by a series of antisemitic crimes that quickly escalate to deadly violence.
