Tom is a filmmaker perennially haunted by an accident he was involved in as a high school student in Westhampton, Long Island. Though he has made a moderately successful independent film about it, he believes both the film and himself to be a failure. When circumstances conspire, Tom must go back to the hometown he left years ago, forcing him to face old friends and a town he believes disdains him. But as present events are intercut with the B&W film Tom made, questions begin to arise about what really happened. Shot on location in Westhampton, filmmaker and Long Island native Christian Nilsson brings us this masterfully told tale about regret, forgiveness, and acceptance.

With Finn Wittrock (The Big Short), RJ Mitte (Breaking Bad),  Jake Weary, Amy Forsyth, and Tovah Feldshuh.
