Synopsis
Rural Montana is the stage for a modern-day Western with a tale of rescue, family betrayal, and a father and son on the lam in director Anna Kerrigan’s captivating feature. Steve Zahn stars as Troy, a troubled but well-intentioned man recently separated from his wife Sally (Jillian Bell). Aghast at Sally’s refusal to let their trans son Joe (remarkable young trans actor Sasha Knight) live as his authentic self, Troy runs off with Joe into the Montana wild, pursued by a police detective (Ann Dowd) whose resolve about the case is tested the more she learns about Joe’s family. Working from Kerrigan’s sensitivelywritten screenplay, her cast brings to vivid life a story that is both ace entertainment and a clear-eyed examination of 21st century parenthood.
