Afraid that his father's abuse will spill over onto his vulnerable kid brother, Dylan (Zach Savage), teen Michael Adler (Aaron Stanford) whisks the lad away to a small town, rents a room in a fleabag motel and supports them both with a job in a convenience store. But as Michael begins a relationship with feisty co-worker Carly (Robin Tunney) and things begin looking up, the past comes back to haunt them. Tim McCann directs this gripping drama.
