The sign on the street says just three words Hope's Ranch Academy but there is more than learning on the ranch. A mixing of people, in need of something they didn't, or couldn't get any where else. The symbol of refuge for those still outcast by society in large.

If they had been thinking about it, a copy of of the same lines from the sonnet "The New Colossus" would grace the sign as well, the same words that rest on the Statue of Liberty.

Year one is not the first year of the ranch, yet it is the year that Larry Rawlings come home to the ranch after fifteen years away. Fifteen years of hiding, hurting and hating.
