Little River is a coming of age story about a young boy called Bean and his little brother Jack.
It takes place in the sixties in a small rural community, set among the gleaming white cotton fields of northeast Arkansas.
The story begins with the two young lads' obvious isolation from the world outside, as they learn to create their own adventures in the only place they really know, their farm.
The boys' desire to have a close relationship with their dad is hindered by his demanding job.
