Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the adaptation explores the tumultuous journey of a couple whose love spirals into a dark tale of poverty, violence, and murder driven by jealousy and greed. It delves into themes of social helplessness amidst urbanization, the psychological transformation of innocence into rage, and the moral pitfalls of materialism. The story follows a miner-turned-dentist who faces a tragic downfall, reflecting the struggles of immigrants and the desperate clinging to middle-class status in a changing society.
