The son of a Vietnam War Veteran must deal with neighborhood bullies as well as his dad's post-traumatic stress disorder while growing up in the deep south in the 1970's.
Can a young boy find peace while navigating the volatile temper of a father haunted by the ghosts of Vietnam? This heavy portrait of the American South captures the fragile line between childhood innocence and the inherited trauma of a broken home.
