Suspense | Mystery
In the country-noir tradition of Winter's Bone meets
'Breaking Bad,' a savage and beautiful story of a young man
seeking redemption. The area surrounding Cashiers, North Carolina, is home to
people of all kinds, but the world that Jacob McNeely lives
in is crueler than most. His father runs a methodically
organized meth ring, with local authorities on the dime to
turn a blind eye to his dealings. Having dropped out of high
school and cut himself off from his peers, Jacob has been
working for this father for years, all on the promise that
his payday will come eventually. The only joy he finds
comes from reuniting with Maggie, his first love, and a girl
clearly bound for bigger and better things than their
hardscrabble town. Jacob has always been resigned to play the cards that were
dealt him, but when a fatal mistake changes everything, he’s
faced with a choice: stay and appease his father, or leave
the mountains with the girl he loves. In a place where blood
is thicker than water and hope takes a back seat to fate,
Jacob wonders if he can muster the strength to rise above
the only life he’s ever known.
