A heartwarming portrait of Aaron Kurlander (Jesse Bradford, Flags of Our Fathers), a resourceful 12-year old boy who uses his wit and charm to survive the Great Depression in St.Louis, USA. Childhood innocence abounds as Aaron faces the toughest challenge of his young life. While the world around him falls apart, he remains undaunted - devising money-making schemes to lift the spirits of his struggling family. But when the family unit begins to buckle under the weight of the world's financial woes, Aaron sets out to restore hope by any means possible and forges his own identity as 'King of the Hill'.
