After twelve years in prison, Walter returns home. His family has abandoned him, save for his brother-in-law. Few know he's a sex offender and pedophile. Walter finds an apartment and is regularly visited by his parole officer. He gets a job at a lumber mill and starts seeing a coworker. Then his new world begins to unravel; as his past becomes known, he strikes up a high-risk friendship with a young girl and realizes that a man loitering near a schoolyard is a child molester prowling for his next victim.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a serious drama/crime film dealing with heavy themes of pedophilia and societal reentry. The only noted connection is a 'Holiday Release,' which relates to the distribution window, not the narrative content. All five criteria related to the actual story content score 'None.'"
