Casper and Dominic have been fiercely loyal friends since childhood. Desperate for a way out of their quiet town on the Maine-Canada border, the boys make a pact to pool their earnings on a car and hit the road. When Casper is drawn into drug smuggling to pay his share, Dominic (a standout performance by Sydney actor Callan McAuliffe) is forced to make some hard choices and this authentic portrait of small-town American life becomes a riveting coming-of-age thriller.
