A corrupt Miami attorney fleeing the mob seeks refuge in a small, forgotten Texas town where he stumbles upon a powerful reason to do good. (“Mystic River” meets “My Cousin Vinny.”)

SYNOPSIS:

TEXAS HEART tells the story of PETER FRANKLIN (Erik Fellows), a crooked lawyer who's caught up in a loveless existence, loses a critical case for the mob--presided over by MS. SMITH (Lin Shaye)--and runs off to hide out in a backwoods Texas town. There he encounters a compelling story involving a young man, TIGER MILLS (Kam Dabrowski), who's falsely accused of killing a beautiful girl, ALISON BLEVINS (Daniela Bobadilla), whose father, CARL (John Savage), a former cop, deeply suspects Tiger of murder

Watching this crisis over a missing (and presumed murdered) girl unfold right before him forces an agonizing choice for Peter: ignore the case so as to remain anonymous and out of sight of the mob still chasing him or reach out and try to save Tiger. After a shocking twist in the case, Peter makes a choice that changes everything--for the young man and for himself.
