description: Neil Garvin is a seventeen year old living in a small town outside Las Vegas; abandoned by his mother when he was three, he blames his abusive father - who is the local sheriff - for driving her away. The quarterback of the high school football team, Neil is good looking, popular, and as cruel to his peers as his father is to him. He plans to get out of town on his "million dollar arm," until the night he accidentally commits a terrible crime, which his father, unasked, covers up for him. As the FBI arrives and begins to circle, Neil and his father become locked in a confrontation that will break them apart - and set them free.
