In a dead-end small town Arkansas, 13-year-old Dayveon, still grieving over the murder of his older brother years prior, falls in with a gang and finds himself facing two very different paths for his future. Subverting familiar coming-of-age archetypes in startling ways, writer-director-producer-composer Amman Abbasi emerges as a major new voice in American indie cinema with this first feature, a debut as evocative and atmospheric as any since co-producer David Gordon Green’s George Washington.
