Down this twisted road, please watch over my soul and lift me up so gently so as not to touch the ground.
A haunting coming-of-age meditation on childhood innocence shattered by accidental death, told through the eyes of children grappling with guilt, secrecy, and moral complexity in a poor Southern town.
During an innocent game in an abandoned amusement park, a member of the group dies. Narrated by one of the children, the film follows the kids as they struggle to balance their own ambitions and relationships against a tragic lie.
