Synopsis

A working-class family faces opportunity, risk, and renewal as a raise changes their everyday lives.

In a vivid slice of life from Sixty-Five on Time, a railroad crew and their families watch the wheels of fortune turn. A sudden promotion brings hope and new plans, from paydays and home improvements to dreams of education and a quieter life high in the Alleghenies. The story follows Jim, his wife Allie, and their children as they navigate love, responsibility, and the pull of “what next.”

As plans for a mountain camp unfold, the family’s bonds are tested and strengthened. A memory-laden past surfaces through illness, reunion, and shared work, revealing how people choose courage, sacrifice, and what it means to provide a future for the next generation.

  • Experience a close-knit family navigating pride, work, and practical dreams for their children.
