Mr. Edwards gives his adopted son John a rifle, hoping to raise a hunter. But John would rather read and write poetry than shoot anything.
Father and son can't seem to understand each other, and the tension builds until a hunting trip turns frightening. In the wilderness, Edwards and John each discover something about the other. A thoughtful episode about fathers, sons and acceptance.
