Flea

Flea is a young boy who is mysteriously mute. He runs away from an abusive home with a violent mother to join a tribe of forest dwellers known as the Shadow Clan. Under the shamanistic leadership of "Raven" and with the help of the Clan's advocate, "Marsh Man" (Barry Williams from The Brady Bunch), and the tribe's historian, "Poet," Shadeland provides a refuge for lost children, the elderly, and the disabled. Flea feels "at home" here. He is welcomed and begins to understand what true "family" is about.
