Streetwise George and his big, childlike friend
Lennie are drifters, searching for work in the
fields and valleys of California. They have
nothing except the clothes on their back, and a
hope that one day they'll find a place of their
own and live the American dream. But dreams come
at a price. Gentle giant Lennie doesn't know his
own strength, and when they find work at a ranch
he gets into trouble with the boss's
daughter-in-law. Trouble so bad that even his
protector George may not be able to save him.
