Plot
A despairing young widow ( Crystal Bernard) who abandons her baby at pond-side among bulrushes and a traveling man ( John Terry) who's fighting to reclaim his own son ( Graham Sack) are drawn together. A baby plops out of a rainy, stormy sky into the arms of the town's beloved, vaguely addled spinster ( Grace Zabriskie). Miracles suddenly reverse the fortunes of the town as drought and unemployment disappear, only to be replaced by boosterism and greed. [4]
