Homer Wells grows up in an orphanage under the care of Dr. Larch, who also performs abortions. Despite being taught the medical procedure, Homer opposes it and leaves to experience the world outside the orphanage. He finds work on a cider farm and falls in love with Candy, whose fiancé is away at war. Homer faces moral dilemmas and learns about life and love, eventually returning to the orphanage to take Dr. Larch’s place after his death.
