     "Set in a Pennsylvania coal mining town in the 1870's, young Phin Chase has just witnessed a murder. He's reading a borrowed book on Englebright's front porch when several men from the mine who have a grievance with Englebright, kill him.. Instead of killing Phin too, they decide to pin the murder on him. He can't stay in town. If he does, he will be tried and convicted, because who will believe the story of an orphaned boy against respectable men from the town? So he runs."
