Fresh out of prison, Kermit (Zylka), a mostly good kid mixed up with local drug dealers, returns home to his rural Mississippi trailer park. As he struggles to keep his nose clean, he falls for Rachel (Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley), his sultry neighbor who has turned to dancing in a club to support her sick mother. Determined to overcome their inauspicious circumstances, the star-crossed lovers make a desperate, last-ditch effort to escape their dead-end town – but soon find themselves ensnared in a cycle of crime.

Described by the Los Angeles Times as “an intoxicating portrait of life and love on the margins,” debuting feature film writer/director Hank Bedford’s movie also features solid performances by country stars Faith Hill and Steve Earle.
