The principal is itching to kick Joey out of high school, and Joey can't wait to get out. All he wants is to work for his father, a tree cutter by day and a leader of a gang of small-time thieves by night in rural Connecticut. So when Joey's father asks him to fill in as lookout, Joey is thrilled-until a routine robbery goes very wrong. Caught between loyalties to family and a childhood friend in mourning, Joey has to deal with paranoid accomplices, a criminal investigation, and his own guilt. What kind of man does Joey want to be, and what does he owe to the people he loves? (Tallgrass Film Festival)
