Across the Tracks
Directed by Sandy Tung
Produced by Desert Productions
A coming-of-age drama about two brothers navigating redemption, rivalry, and belonging through high school athletics and family bonds.
When Billy returns from reform school he has to attend a different high school at the other side of town. He tries to start with a clean slate but his old rival doesn't make it easy on him and his buddy Louie tries to make him go astray again. His brother Joe, quite the opposite of Billy, is a good runner and determined to win a track scholarship. He suggests Billy to join his school's track team, which pits the two brothers against each other.
