Christian "Vati" Steinmetz, the clockmaker of Ulm in Bavaria, has brought his daughters and sons: Magda - passionate and courageous, is courted in Texas by Texas Ranger Carl Becker, a young frontiersman with a dangerous past. Her sister Liesel wants nothing more than to be a good wife to her husband Hansi Richter, an otherwise stolid and practical farmer lured by the promise of adventure and the chance to better himself, for the Adelsverein tempts him with the promise of farming more land than could ever be possible for the youngest son of a poor farmer. Magda and Liesel's brothers - the bold scapegrace Friedrich and shy Johann are as close as twins can be - they think of the transatlantic journey by sailing ship as the most wonderful adventure ever. But at the end of it all, they are set ashore at a desolate camp on the Texas Gulf Coast, faced with a long trek to their new home in the Texas Hill Country - an unsettled and dangerous frontier, menaced by hostile Comanche war parties.Will the Adelsverein representatives be able to make peace, as they build new homes and settlements What will an immigrant German family make of their new home in TexasAdelsverein: The Gathering - It's about love and loss, joy and grief . . . and the sometimes wrenching process of becoming American.
