Recently released from jail, Henry (McCaleb Burnett) reacts violently to an unexpected tragedy during an annual summer party with friends.

Sheri Linden

The Hollywood Reporter

Lindstrom draws effective, understated performances from his cast, letting insecurities and betrayals break through the surface of laid-back celebration.

Los Angeles Times

It's surprising that a screenplay conceived by three veteran actors would allow so little character development.

Frank Lovece

Film Journal International

Indie murder story showcases a good feature directing debut, despite having an overabundance of ill-used characters and little chemistry among the cast.

L.A. Weekly

More approachable as a clinical deconstruction than a conventional narrative.

The house from the movie is super nice http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/476-Beach-Ave-Rochester-NY-14612/30844969_zpid/, but the movie itself is overly dramatic in places it doesn't need to be.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
