Synopsis: Sam and Terry Prescott are a sister and brother from Scottsville, a small, out of the way town in upstate New York. Orphaned at a young age, they have remained very close despite the two totally different paths their lives have taken. Married and divorced at a young age, Sammy is a devoted but somewhat overprotective mother to her eight-year-old son, Rudy, who harbors romantic notions about his absentee father. Terry leads a troubled and nomadic existence; he is very charming but totally irresponsible and self-destructive. When Terry comes home, his presence inspires Sammy to break out from her routines of small-town life, while Terry and Rudy form a real friendship. Ultimately, Sammy's routinized life conlficts with Terry's wild irresponsibility, and their human limitations bump up against each other until a final crisis nearly forces them apart.

Comment: Grand Jury Prize (shared) winner at Sundance Film Festival 2000.
