Synopsis:

Forbidden desires and long-suppressed family secrets are part of the dark underbelly of provincial life in middle-America at the turn-of-the-century as seen through the eyes of five children growing into adulthood. One of them, Parris Mitchell, pursues his interest in the newly emerging field of psychiatry and uses his knowledge to overcome tragic personal losses as well as the hypocrisy and bigotry of his small town home in order to help his childhood friends.

Boyhood friends Parris Mitchell and Drake McHugh have grown up together in the town of Kings Row. Parris wants to be a doctor and his grandmother arranges for him to be to be tutored by Dr. Alexander Tower, something of a recluse who seems to have no patients. Parris knew his daughter Cassie when they were young but Dr. Tower home-schooled her from a young age. Now young adults, they fall madly in love but tragedy strikes just as Parris is about to set off for Vienna to begin medical school. Drake is a happy go lucky sort, handsome with many of the local girls chasing after him and he them. He's particularly fond of Louise Gordon, daughter of the town's other doctor, Henry Gordon. Her parents dislike the young Drake and refuse him permission to call on their daughter, which drives Louise to the brink of madness. When Drake has an accident, Dr. Gordon exacts a sadistic revenge leaving it to Parris and another childhood friend, Randy Monaghan, to pull Drake back from the edge.

Five children in an apparently ideal American small town find their lives changing as the years pass near the turn of the century in 1900. Parris and Drake, both of whom have lost their parents, are best friends; Parris dreams of becoming a doctor, studying under the father of his sweetheart Cassie, while Drake plans on becoming a local businessman when he receives his full inheritance - juggling girlfriends in the meantime. As they become adults, the revelations of local secrets threaten to ruin their hopes and dreams.
