“A masterpiece of organic imagery” – Rachel Gibson Shepherd, Truth on Cinema.
Working in an insular farming community in Appalachia, Sal Damon, a modern-day Thoreau, seeks solace from a past relationship. After a sudden death in the community and the discovery of a feral child living on the lam, Sal must reconcile his place in a world that lives outside of the law.

The film is built around the emotional journey of Sal (Frank Mosley, in one of his best performances to date), the caretaker of several farms in a small Appalachian community. Like his group of friends whom he visits regularly, Sal is a back-to-the-land type, and has dreams of building a home and raising a family on the piece of land where he lives.
Hammer on Nail wrote “Regional films with this sort of depth and artistry are a welcome addition to the canon of American Independent Cinema.”
The dynamic cast includes Frank Mosley (Upstream Color), Lindsay Burdge (Thirst Street), and Heather Kafka (Texas Chainsaw Massacre).
