The Show Set in the time of America's depression in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama, 9-year-old Jean Louise Finch (known as Scout) lives with her older brother Jeremy and her widowed father Atticus. With her father being a lawyer in the run-down town, Finch and Jeremy live reasonably comfortable in comparison to others. However, as Finch grows up in the difficult and testing times, she learns that growing up often means doing what's right, even when it may not be the easiest thing to do.
