Wind at My Back Season 3

Wind at My Back Season 3 takes us on a variety of new adventures and shows us New Bedford struggling to stay afloat through a long and difficult winter. The year is 1933 and the Great Depression is really beginning to take its toll on the land and the people. To add to the difficulties through this rough time, the Silver Dome Mine, a mine that was helpful in employing a large number of people in the town, is closed down and many people are put out of work. With this sudden lack of employment, people are unable to find jobs and in turn, unable to feed their families or provide for their needs.

Meanwhile, Grace tries hard to find love with Del but finds it to be extremely difficult. With Del being a hard person to pin down or relate with, she finds it increasingly difficult to continue a relationship with him. Meanwhile, Hub and Fat begin to learn about growing up and all of the many difficulties that come along with becoming adults. Hub receives his first dose of "The Fever" and is bed-ridden due to his extreme illness. Fat, meanwhile, experiences his own type of growing up when he begins to learn about the "birds and the bees." Honey and Max continue to love each other and Max does everything in his power to continue to provide for Honey and the family. They continue building their happy life together, working together to provide for and support their wonderful family.

Concerns are raised about Bob and Toppy and their seemingly struggling marriage. Shortly after, Max discovers the truth behind why their marriage has become so strained as of late. May receives a Crystal skull that is believed to have very magical powers. A local crime gang forms in town and begins causing trouble for all of the local citizens. Calling themselves the Burlesque Bandits, they begin causing trouble in town and it's soon brought to attention that something is going to need to be done about them. A filmmaker comes to town looking to potentially make a movie. After some convincing, Grace inspires him to make a film right there in New Bedford; with her as the star! The residents also manage to have some fun and enjoyment despite some of their difficult circumstances. Morale is raised when the townspeople gather together to couple up for a five-day dance marathon. Finally, the flu epidemic hits the town hard, seriously affecting the health of many individuals, including Honey.

The main storyline of Wind at My Back Season 3 involves the Silver Dome Mine shutting down, which throws much of the town into panic. With many folks out of work and unable to get a job, they begin to turn against the Bailey family. The town begins to divide into two camps; the camp that believes that the Baileys are innocent and it's the bank that shut down the mine, and the camp that believes May and the whole Bailey clan is at fault for what has happened to their town. Many people still view May in a very negative light, thinking she is higher and mightier than the rest of the town.

Conclusion
