When Roy Clemens (Steve Harris from "The Practice") returns to his rural hometown of Haralson, Georgia (population 83), for his father's funeral, he inherits not only the family store but a whole mess of skeletons in the closet as well. Roy's intention is simply to stick around long enough to clean up his father's affairs and then get back to the big city, but he soon finds himself caught up in more than one of Haralson's dark secrets. While out on an errand to deliver a package, he encounters two ghosts from his past in the form his childhood friends Sammy and Harold, and the incident brings back old memories that are hard for Roy to process. Sammy, who's blind and has been locked up at home by his older brother, Harold, for 20 years, is childlike and naïvely trusting. He spends most of his time alone, listening to soap operas and stuffing envelopes in the dark for one of Harold's many shady sideline enterprises. Harold (Gale Harold from "Queer as Folk"), is quick to let Roy know that he wants nothing to do with him and that Roy should stay away from Sammy. But through a series of unexpected events, Sammy and Roy form a bond around their desire to leave Haralson for the city lights of Atlanta and the elusive comfort they hope it holds. To get there they must both come to terms with Harold and the secret they all share. Director Lisa Frank avoids the usual clichés in her depiction of rural Southern life and handles the volatile issues of racism and child abuse with sensitivity and grace. A standout in this brilliant ensemble cast is Steve Harris, who has never been better than in the role of Roy.
