Three North Carolina stories – one about a young drifter (Kip Pardue) visiting a seaside resort; a second following a conservative pastor (Chris Sarandon) and his wife (Tess Harper); and a third in which a birth mother tries to locate the son she gave up for adoption many years earlier – intersect in this award-winning feature from Tim Kirkman (Dear Jesse). A moving meditation on prejudice, personal identity and the meaning of family. “Tender and true – its mood of quiet sadness is deepened by the calm even-handed performances” – New York Times.
