Alone, Ginger Stein gives birth to Jeremy on the floor of her living room while her husband, John, is collapsed and trapped in the wet imprisoning snow outside their door. Struggling against waves of unconsciousness, she reaches for Jeremy only to realize that he has not yet taken his first breath. Ginger and John are now faced with a life of caring for a child whose condition goes beyond extreme physical and mental impairment. Several years later Sandy, Becky and Sam Tarlov's baby, enters Ginger's world. As Sandy grows older, she begins to understand Ginger's hardship, and they develop an empathy for one another. When Sandy and Bingo fall in love, Ginger encourages her to grab the feeling and never let it go. The young couple takes us into the excitement of first love. It is 1952 and just after Sandy and Bingo are married, Bingo and his best friend, Max, are sent to Korea. What happens to them there, tests Sandy to the limits of her strength. She is thrust suddenly into an adult world for which she is not ready. Ginger and Sandy are blindsided by unspeakable misfortune, unbearable tragedy. In his static muteness, Jeremy guides them both. The Horse-God ultimately is a story of the human condition where ordinary people live lives of challenge and resolution.
