Determined to succeed, he endeavors to do right by his mother and younger siblings, raising their crop by the banks of Badgworthy Water.
Raised in the hill country of Exmoor, John Ridd is forced to take over his family farm at a young age following his father\'s murder at the hands of the Doone clan.
