CGiii Comment

Brown has his head stuck up his arse - a boy gets raped in a field by his classmates, one comes back and patriotically sings 'O Beautiful' - what a croc.

Done completely in split screen...aaargh!

The writing is the big problem - the young actors do actually do the best they can with threadbare material.


Watch...

The(ir) Blurb...

Being gay bashed and left in a corn field in rural America takes an unusual turn when one of the bashers returns with remorse and a secret.
