Going back home is never easy, especially if you’ve been gone for a long time and want to leave a particular past behind you. But for the protagonist in Kate Cobb‘s new film Okie, it means confronting the people he’s exploited in his books. And that confrontation is far from comfortable.
Read the full synopsis below:
Louie (Scott Michael Foster), a wealthy writer, returns to his beleaguered hometown after his father passes away. The town, a weathered setting, and its people, equally worn, have served as the spiritual muses for Louie’s popular, rustic anthology. Upon his return, Louie is reunited with his childhood friends Travis (Kevin Bigley) and Lainey (Kate Cobb), the very same people he utilized as central characters in his pretentious novels. Thus ensues a confusing swirl of nostalgia and enmity as Louie is dragged from party to party, coming face-to-face with those whose lives he’s exploited for his own financial gain. But soon, as his grip on reality slips, he begins to wonder if these ostensibly simple townsfolk don’t have their own version of payback in mind.
In our exclusive clip, Louie has an awkward interaction with Travis about a prized hog…
