BUCKEYE

Golden Voice Narrator Michael Crouch brings his expert skills to this complex historical drama. While WWII still rages in the Pacific, a secret spanning generations begins in Bonhomie, Ohio. Cal Jenkins and Margaret Salt, who are married to other people, share a kiss in a hardware store upon the news of victory over Germany, and this starts a massive trickle-down effect throughout generations of their two families. Cal and Margaret become unhappy with their marriages, and as time marches forward and new characters are introduced to the lineage, Crouch captures their intergenerational trauma. Crouch's smooth narration powerfully dramatizes how one moment can change everything. Mixed with heartfelt moments and heartbreak, his performance breathes life into a saga set in small-town America.
