Overview

You gotta have faith she's gonna happen! You gotta know it in yer gizzard an' in yer heart an' in yer soul!

It’s 1944 and drought threatens to destroy crops near the small prairie town of Crocus. Folks are getting “a might tetchy,” so when hired-hand Jake claims he can make it rain, it’s not just the Kid who’s caught in his tale. Will he make good on his promise and save the day, or is Jake just full of hot prairie air? Based on W.O. Mitchell’s beloved stories, Jake and the Kid pays tribute to the kid inside all of us and shows that sometimes hope is bigger than the Alberta sky.
