Tinyard Hill, GA in 1964, is too far away from the world to pickup a good radio signal, but close enough for a dangerous world to affect it as Vietnam heats up in the wake of JFK’s death. Young blacksmith David Kingsley is just 18, and helps his dad Russell continue the 200-year old family smithy’s tradition.
In the show, David has big dreams of turning the 200-year-old family business into a garage and body shop, but his life changes when “yankee” Aileen spends the summer with her Aunt May. Love unexpectedly blooms between Aileen and David, but Vietnam intervenes when Russell intercepts a draft notice for David.
TINYARD is a bittersweet love story with a powerful patriotic thread, which expresses a deep love for rural America and the challenge of balancing the calls of home, family and country.
