| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Avery Allan Ludlow (Brian Cox), a Korean War vet with a tragic
past, lives alone in a small town, where he runs the local
hardware store. Av’s only companion is a 14 year-old
ginger-haired dog, aptly named Red by Av’s late wife.
One day, Av and Red are enjoying a placid outing at their
favorite fishing spot when three boys and a shotgun come along.
In an instant, Av’s lifelong friend is gone, the victim
of a cruel, senseless act. Devastated, Av determines to find
out who the boys are and why they did it. Helped by a local
reporter (Kim Dickens), Av tries to expose the truth, but
his efforts are ignored by authorities and mocked by the teenagers.
The boys’ parents, a rich local businessman (Tom Sizemore)
and, across town, a hardscrabble laborer (Robert Englund)
and his wife (Amanda Plummer), are just as determined to keep
Av down.
But, faithful to the memory of his best friend, Av single-mindedly
presses for justice-with or without the law on his side.
