Product Description

A gritty portrait of the complex dynamics between friends and family and the journey one man takes and the choices he must make to find his way home.

Rusty wanders through his life, happily finding himself in the middle of trouble with the only person he can relate to, his best friend, Dallas. Without the understanding of Rusty’s mother, the only adult figure in either of their lives, Rusty and Dallas would never get out of their jail cells. For sanity’s sake, Mary employs her therapist boyfriend, Bob, to help set Rusty on the right path. As Rusty and Bob forge a genuine relationship, Rusty begins to embrace the life and death of his father, a rodeo star, allowing him to make bold decisions about his future that lead to new possibilities in the lives of all three. While Rusty finds small doses of clarity and direction, Dallas chooses a darker road to a more meaningful and higher status. When the time comes to begin their journeys, their friendship is pushed to the brink and they are both forced to make decisions that will change their lives forever.

Customer Reviews

Scott Cann is the new Billy Bob Thornton
This is a hidden gem with a great story everyone will relate to, and great music. I love this movie. Get 'The Dog Problem' too, another Scott Caan film.

Love it
I really like this movie, its a chill flick, that has todo with friendship and fam. with some guns and fighting in the middle

Gets under your skin
OK, OK, I confess to being a fan of all things Caan (James, Scott), but this little movie is something special. I rented it to ogle Scott Caan, but ended up buying my own copy because I couldn't get the story out of my head.

Caan wrote, directed and starred in this film, which received kudos at one of those high-tone film festivals (can't remember which). It's a poignant story of two men-children at a turning point in their lives, where they could either go on fighting and drinking every night or make something of themselves. With a little guidance, Rusty (Shawn Hatosy, excellent!) finally moves past the death of his rodeo star father. Dallas (Caan), however, is a party animal 'til the end. Although his life is an object lesson for how not to behave, Caan makes the character sympathetic and likeable.

The black and white still photos in the beginning are beautiful, and Scott looks so much like his father in some of them, it's un-Caany (!). Nice addition to anyone's indie film collection.
