England. A November morning. A fox goes to ground on a strip of land between a lord's estate and a tenant's farm. The hounds are stopped. The hunt is over. And a man who has been waiting for exactly this moment walks across a frozen field and refuses to move.
What follows is a court case about a fox. It is also about what a lord takes and what a tenant loses and what a young man raised between them finally chooses to see.
Based on the real case of Pierson v. Post, 1805. Still taught on the first day of every American property law course.
The law decided who was right. It never asked who was damaged.
Where the law meets the line.
Genre: Historical
