Dixieland
“Get out while you can.”
DramaCrime
A young, recently-released and unpredictable ex-con with bad luck, and a sexy, listless girl-next-door with a troubled family, become trapped in a downward spiral of crime and obsessive love, as they try to ditch their dead-end town for a better life.
VIBE
This film feels like a humid, sticky night in a forgotten town. It's a raw, desperate dive into doomed young love and the suffocating grip of a dead-end life, where every choice pulls you deeper into the mire.
