In the Salinas Valley, in and around World War I, Cal Trask feels he must
compete against overwhelming odds with his brother Aron for the love of
their father Adam. Cal is frustrated at every turn, from his reaction to
the war, to how to get ahead in business and in life, to how to relate to
estranged mother.
Cal Trask is a particularly unhappy young man. He sees himself as the black
sheep of the family and is always competing with his brother Aron, who
seems to be perfect in almost every way. Aron is also their father's
favorite and Cal desperately wants his father's love and affection. It's
the period leading up to America's entry into World War I and these are
tumultuous times. After his father loses most of his fortune trying to ship
refrigerated lettuce to New York, Cal decides to speculate on a crop of
beans and makes a small fortune but he soon realizes that he can't buy his
father's loves either. Cal's discovery that his mother is alive - he and
Aron were told that she had died - and that she is a madam leads to a
final, tragic result for all three of the Trask men.
