Sweet Bird of Youth

He used love like most men use money.

A morally complex Southern Gothic drama about a charming drifter's destructive return home, built on exploitation, regret, and the collision between ambition and consequence.

Gigolo and drifter Chance Wayne returns to his hometown as the companion of a faded movie star, Alexandra Del Lago, whom he hopes to use to help him break into the movies. Chance runs into trouble when he finds his ex-girlfriend, the daughter of the local politician Tom "Boss" Finley, who more or less forced him to leave his daughter and the town many years ago.
