King Jack

Living in a small rural American town with his mostly absent single mum and his older brother, 15-year-old loner Jack is facing another hazy summer of boredom, petty crimes, and cat and mouse games with local bully, Shane, whom he enjoys taunting. When dumped with the responsibility of looking after his younger cousin for the weekend, the initially reluctant Jack starts enjoying the company of this unexpected visitor and discovers the pleasure of friendship. That is until the ominous arrival of Shane who has a score to settle. (London Film Festival)
