A boy and girl struggle to escape the moral squalor of their surroundings. The challenge: could they find authentic goodness in themselves and each other. The Ordnance was the name of one of the first post-World War II housing projects established for returning veterans and their families. For some it was a lifestyle as short and transitory as a refugee camp. Others, however, were mired for years in apartments with paper-thin walls and communal baths. True privacy didn't exist.
