Full Plot Details

Martin Bonner has just moved to Nevada from the East Coast, leaving behind his two adult children and a life he spent more than two decades building. He's there working a new job as the volunteer coordinator for a non-profit organization that helps prisoners make the transition from incarceration to freedom. It's Martin's first job in two years and he's recently declared bankruptcy. At the same time, Travis Holloway, a prisoner in the program, is being released after serving twelve years. Sent back into the world with nothing, Travis also finds life in Reno difficult to adjust to, despite the help from his program sponsor, Steve Helms. The stories of Martin and Travis slowly converge, as the two men meet and find that they have much in common, not the least of which is an unspoken need for encouragement and support. Their unlikely friendship blossoms but is put to the test when Travis betrays Martin's trust in order to reunite with his estranged daughter.

Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzThankfully it avoids the sentimentality of so many other similar redemption indie pics.
HollywoodChicago.com - 9/10 by Brian TallericoIt's a very low-key, slowly paced piece that has a cumulative power through its honesty and realism.
ArtVoice - 9/10 by M. FaustThe detail is precise, as are the performances. These may not be people you would care to see a film about, but seeing it I can't imagine that you wouldn't be moved to care about them.
Christianity Today - 9/10 by Jeffrey Overstreet... exquisite character development, observant filmmaking, and storytelling that just might change the way people live.
Honolulu Star-Advertiser - 9/10 by Burl BurlingameA lovely film makes use of fundamental Christian belief, and of lonely men in their autumn years, and of second chances forced upon us, subjects not generally celebrated in Hollywood.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 9/10 by Rob ThomasIn most movies, Martin Bonner would be a memorable minor character, the sort where you'd idly wonder "What's that guy's story?" Chad Hartigan's second feature gives Martin that movie, and the results are quietly astonishing.
The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by David RooneyActed with smart restraint and shot with corresponding composure, this is a somber, slow-moving drama built out of small but acutely observed moments of naturalistic human behavior.
Variety - 8/10 by John AndersonA mood piece, a character study and an exercise in poetic gesture possessed of a sort of evanescent, secular spirituality.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Jordan CronkAt its best, with its quiet, ominous pace in the early going and its economical distribution of information throughout, the film is reminiscent of Todd Haynes's Safe.
HitFix - 8/10 by Guy LodgeThe rare contemporary film about Christian behavior that doesn't go out of its way to announce its secularity, it's equally unpatronizing in its sharp articulation of loneliness in middle age and beyond.
