Hard To Reach

Synopsis

It's 2010 and the last day of school before summer. Morey, an anxiety-fueled mentor living a life devoid of purpose, is quietly descending into a breakdown as he arrives to pick up his rebellious and sometimes violent teenage student, Jackson. The tension only intensifies when their intended photography trip leads to an altercation on a train, forcing the pair into a nearby forest where they have a cathartic exchange that changes them forever.
