Secrets... Deceit... Forbidden Love.

2000110 min5.7 / 10

A melancholic Southern drama about a young man trapped by family obligation, shame, and unspoken desire, finding unexpected connection and self-discovery through a stranger's arrival.

At only twenty, Griffith is struggling with the responsibilities of caring for his unwell aunt, grieving the loss of their family's matriarch, and his own dreams of leaving Pine Apple. With the arrival of a stranger, Griffith's carefully constructed walls of shame and silence begin to come down and his life takes an unexpected turn.
