Davey Hancock (Jason Gedrick) is a high school basketball star. Mary (Tracy Pollan) is his cheerleader girlfriend. Everybody knows awkward teen Danny, "the Senator" (Kiefer Sutherland) but he is mostly a friendly joke to them. He quits school, and goes on the road. Two years later, Hancock has joined the local police after his college scholarship gets taken away. He and Mary had parted but she has returned to town. Danny gets married to flighty Bev (Meg Ryan) and decides to go home. In the background, there is the spectra of Ronald Reagan.
This is most notable for being commissioned by the Sundance Film Festival. It certainly has the high value indie feel. It has some notable 80's actors. Gedrick used to be a thing. Pollan is more noted as a better half. The Gedrick Pollan pairing seems to have a small town indie drama and that feels different than the Sutherland Ryan pairing. That duo does need more setup for its conclusion. They need to be the outlaw couple. The ending comes out of nowhere. It needs to build up to that point. Overall, it has a high concept of a Reagan era living but it doesn't really hit the target.
