When Ren (Andrew Nugent) and his mother (Brooke Mega) move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period to his new town. What he isn's prepared for are the old fashioned and sometimes harsh town ways, including a ban on dancing which was instituted by the local preacher (Edj Andrews), determined to have control over the town's youth, a control that he cannot command in his own home.? When the reverend's daughter (Laura Girard) sets her sights on Ren, things go from bad to worse. The story that comes out of all of this is of a father that is longing for the son he lost and a boy aching for a father who walked out on him.
