My Father's Joy

Dark secrets are unearthed and shocking twists await two families in this thriller set in rural Alabama.



Abby and her mother, Karen, are starting over. They've just traveled all the way from California to Alabama to escape their troubled past. Eddie, Abby's father, is no longer with them-as Karen explains to their new neighbor and her son, Lucas, when they arrive at their new home.



Lucas and Abby get off on the wrong foot when they take a tour of the town and stumble across a couple of bullies. After all, it's a blow to Lucas's pride when a girl tries to defend him. But soon after, a genuine friendship grows between the oddly matched pair. Romance blooms as they bond over the things they have in common.



But one night, everything changes. Violence erupts and insidious influences are revealed in a macabre twist, and it's unclear who can be trusted. Lucas and Abby become closer than ever-a family of sorts. In fact, they're about to go into the family business, but everything's not as it seems.



From the award-winning screenplay comes My Father's Joy, a thriller that examines the sinister depths of family ties.
