| Eighty-year-old Abner Meecham (Hal Holbrook) returns to his Tennessee farm after escaping a nursing home to find that his lawyer son has leased it to a long-time enemy and his white trash family. Fueled by stubbornness and a steadfast loyalty to his land, he moves into an old shack on the property and declares that he won't leave until the land is rightly his again. New tenant Lonzo Choat (Ray McKinnon) refuses to give in and animosities flare, but the abusive Choat's booze-ridden threats don't frighten the old man. Guns are fired, beer cans thrown and tensions rise as they come head-to-head on the isolated farmland.
Featuring a powerhouse performance by Hal Holbrook, and set amidst the gorgeous, rural Tennessee landscape, this moving film is a powerful meditation on the themes of family betrayal, dignity and loss.
