Hot Summer Nights
One summer can change everything.
Directed by Elijah Bynum
Produced by Imperative Entertainment
A sun-soaked coming-of-age crime drama set in 1990s Cape Cod that balances youthful romance and hedonism against the creeping darkness of drug dealing and its consequences.
In 1991, a sheltered teenager comes of age during a wild summer on Cape Cod, getting rich from selling pot to gangsters, falling in love for the first time, partying, and eventually realizing that he's in way over his head.
