It's been 40 years since E.F. Bloodworth (Kris Kristofferson) abandoned his loving wife and sons for a life on the road. Now at the end of the line, Bloodworth reappears, forced to reckon with the stale aftermath of his departure. With his ex-wife Julia (Frances Conroy) mentally destroyed and his three sons, Warren (Val Kilmer), Boyd (Dwight Yoakam) and Brady (W. Earl Brown), soured by years of anger, Bloodworth's only solace is a budding relationship with Fleming, the grandson he never knew. But when Fleming meets Raven (Hilary Duff), the woman of his dreams, will Bloodworth's presence force history to repeat itself? (official distributor synopsis)

The actors go at it full throttle and the atmosphere of a family living in a forgotten place surprisingly works, but when the bittersweet jangle suddenly acquires the rough riffs of a thriller, it's not good. The over-plotted narrative whirlwind sends the entire Bloodworth clan down rapidly within a few minutes, and considering how likable Reece Thompson is or how reliable Val Kilmer is, that's quite a pity. Family stories simply have to be told well.
