“I love it here. If I had one wish, it’d be to stay here forever.”
Small town life hasn’t changed much since Sammy left home. His sister’s still married to his former best friend. She’s still a victim; he’s still a bully. Violence, threats, resentment and anger are still at the heart of their relationship. Is escape from such a life, from such a world, a real possibility?
