Leslie is a West Texas single mother struggling to provide for her son when she wins the lottery and a chance at a good life. But a few short years later the money is gone and Leslie is on her own, living hard and fast at the bottom of a bottle as she runs from the world of heartbreak she left behind.

With her charm running out and with nowhere to go, Leslie returns home. Unwelcome and unwanted by those she wronged, it's Sweeney, a lonely motel clerk, who takes a chance when no one else will. With his support, Leslie comes face to face with the consequences of her actions, a life of regret, and a second chance to make a good life for her and her son.

Reviews

"[Andrea] Riseborough's impeccable performance cannot be overstated. Her passion shines consistently whether Leslie has hit her lowest low or is riding her highest high. All of this contributes to the film's poetic ending, which is sure to leave you teary-eyed and reinvigorated with a new lease on life."

Emily Bernard, Collider

"Beginning at the darker end of the emotional spectrum and working its way toward a brighter place, [Michael] Morris' drama reveals someone learning to see, and [Andrea] Riseborough's portrayal is an unfolding, alive with flickering rough edges."
