Synopsis

14-year-old Simon feels starkly out of place on his parents’ dairy farm. Life on the farm is demanding, but no matter how hard Simon tries, he cannot live up to his father’s expectations. Resentments simmer, so when a tragic accident hits close to home, the question of blame haunts the family and the possibility for forgiveness seems remote.
