- Synopsis
- In this powerful and dramatic thriller about betrayal and bitter revenge, a handsome young US Marine called Elvis returns to his Preacher father's sleepy hometown dreaming for some kind of reconciliation - having been abandoned by the man as a child. Elvis walks through the world with an effortless charm, and seems to be the very embodiment of hope and enthusiasm. But now the Preacher has a new family, and is in no mood to confront his past mistakes, so he callously rejects Elvis again - and this flippant act of cruelty sets off a course of action from which the Preacher and his family may never recover...
