The story

It's the summer of 1937 in Bridgeport, Connecticut and 12-year-old Daniel Cooper along with his 10-year-old sister Sarah are looking forward to summer vacation, most particularly, the annual 4th of July festivities. Sarah soon befriends the town's gentle misfit, Albert Cavanaugh, known by the town's children as "Snowman", a highly decorated and now brain-damaged World War I veteran, after she defends him from the town's resident bully, "Red" Doyle. When Snowman finds himself accused of a terrible murder, Sarah, believing him to be innocent, convinces her successful attorney father, Ed Cooper to defend him.
