About
The Film
After returning from World War II, Jack Lebeaux comes home to his family’s worn-down Texas farm, where his father is dying and his younger sister is barely holding things together. Haunted by the war and the childhood abandonment of his mother, Jack must confront the memories and wounds that have shaped his relationships and the place he once called home. As he struggles to reckon with his past, he finds that the people, places, and memories he left behind have changed in ways he never expected. Jack must face his family’s history, his own mistakes, and what it really means to come home.
