SYNOPSIS:

Cinequest compared my writing and TLSD to John Grisham's, A Painted House.

Isolated on their failing farm, the lives of Dex and Marla Clayton begin to unravel after a traumatic loss. Dex blames Marla and takes his anger and frustrations out on her, refusing to let her go to town.

When an opportunity for work arises, Dex abandons Marla and the farm. Thinking she has nothing to live for, Marla contemplates suicide. As she makes her preparations, a young neighbor approaches Marla for help.
