Anarene, Texas, 1951. Nothing much has changed…

High school seniors and best friends, Sonny and Duane, live in a dying Texas town. The handsome Duane is dating a local beauty, while Sonny is having an affair with the coach's wife.

Each struggles to figure out if he can escape this dead-end town and build a better life somewhere else.
