Set in Arkansas in the late 1990's, a troubled 17-year-old named Matthew is slipping into a cycle of alcohol and drugs that looks all too familiar to his single mother, Christy. Desperate to break the cycle, she sends him away for a summer of sobriety and honest work at his grandfather's place in the Ozark Mountains. Against the hum of cicadas, Matthew comes to know the generational abuse that has happened there--secrets that change how he looks at those closest to him, and at himself.

Sal D There's seems to be an interesting story in this film that unfortunately doesn't pop out in the 76 minute run time. The performances were also off - perhaps because of budgetary reasons, the production had to use single takes or the the actors require more seasoning. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/22/23 Full Review Amy O I was captivated and surprised while watching this movie. By the end, I was crying and my heart ached for growing teenagers. It's hard to be a teenager. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
