Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka

This undistinguished "country-punk" version of teens apparently maturing into what passes for adulthood may not quite have made the transition itself, since it seems geared to a young teen audience. When Tina (Laura Hunt) from the big city of Atlanta goes to spend the summer with her grandparents in the middle of nowhere in North Carolina, she unexpectedly meets a kindred spirit (Johnson West), but is caught in a seamy underworld. The veneer of this bucolic farmland hides rapists, murderers, fetishists, voyeurs, and suicides -- it is a wonder that Tina has any chance at all of safely making it back to the streets of Atlanta.
