Synopsis

A hoax instigated by an aggressive school bus driver goes very wrong. Accused of abusing her position of authority with 17-year-old Clive and another student, Veronica is imprisoned. Convinced that she deserves to be punished for crimes she committed at an earlier age, Veronica rebuffs her father’s attempts to secure her early release. Confused and frustrated by her intransigence, Jim’s anguish begins to impinge on his job. As a food inspector, he wields great power over small, family-owned restaurants. It’s a power he doesn't hesitate to use. While preparing Jim’s funeral, Veronica confides the secrets of her past to Father Greg, who may hold the final piece of this father-daughter puzzle.

Will These Limited and Virtual Releases have Audiences in the Palm of Their Hands?

July 9th, 2020

Palm Springs

I am not hopeful about this weekend’s box office chances. Granted, there are some movies earning stellar reviews, but none of them have a hope of box office success.
