When his mother ends up in a coma, a young law student becomes suspicious of his stepfather in the 2016 thriller Detour, written and directed by Christopher Smith (Black Death).

Harper (Tye Sheridan, The Stanford Prison Experiment), a seemingly naive law student, obsesses over the idea that his shifty stepfather was involved in the devastating car crash that left his mother hospitalized and comatose. He drowns his suspicions in whiskey until he finds himself suddenly engrossed in conversation with volatile grifter Johnny (Emory Cohen, Brooklyn) and his stripper companion, Cherry (Bel Powley, The Diary of a Teenage Girl). As daylight breaks and the haziness of promises made becomes clearer, how will Harper handle the repercussions…?

Though it popped up on a few screens in January, 2017, Detour is more-or-less premiering on digital and disc.

Bonus features on the disc include the following:
