In 1970s western North Carolina, a young man stumbles across a grove of marijuana, sees an opportunity to make some easy money, and steps into the jaws of a bear trap.

He is discovered by the ruthless farmer who set the trap to protect his plants, and begins his struggle with the evils of his community's present as well as those of its history.

Their fates become entwined as the community's terrible past and corrupt present lead to a violent reckoning with the marijuana farmer and with a Civil War massacre that continues to divide an Appalachian community.

Jeremy Irvine starred as Travis, and Noah Wyle played his mentor Leonard.

Adelaide Clemens, Minka Kelly, Steve Earle, and Haley Joel Osment were also among the cast.
