One town. One life. One wrong turn.

Drama

The small working-class town of Angels Crest is a tight-knit community resting quietly in one of the vast and stunningly beautiful valleys of the Rocky Mountains. Ethan, one of the town's residents, is a young father but not much more than a kid himself. He has no choice but to look after his three-year-old son Nate, since mom Cindy is an alcoholic. But one snowy day, Ethan's good intentions are thwarted by a moment of thoughtlessness, resulting in tragedy. A local prosecutor haunted by his past goes after Ethan, and the ensuing confusion and casting of blame begins to tear the town apart.

VIBE

A quiet, snow-dusted tragedy unfolds in a small town. It's a somber, character-driven drama that explores the devastating impact of loss and the fragility of community. Feels heavy and introspective, best suited for a solitary, contemplative viewing.
