Synopsis

Assigned to a county-mandated drug court program, Cody Parsons embarks on the tenuous journey toward recovery amidst the opioid epidemic in rural Ohio.
Moviegoers are saying
This quietly powerful addiction drama about recovery in rural Ohio has audiences praising Will Poulter's authentic, non-showy performance and the groundbreaking use of real recovering addicts telling their own stories. While some find the pacing glacially slow, most are moved by director Adam Meeks' debut that chooses authenticity over melodrama, with standout Annette Deao bringing real gravity as a recovery advocate.

    A beautiful, meditative film about addiction that mixes real stories with a compelling narrative that explores an addiction recovery program in rural Ohio. I can't wait to see what Adam Meeks does next because this is a powerhouse debut. Will Poulter & Noah Centineo are…

    Will Poulter is solid in this glacially paced addiction drama. The use of non-actors adds some interesting verisimilitude, but I think the core narrative isn’t quite compelling enough for a full-length feature film.
