After twelve years in prison, Walter returns home. His family has abandoned him, save for his brother-in-law. Few know he's a sex offender and pedophile. Walter finds an apartment and is regularly visited by his parole officer. He gets a job at a lumber mill and starts seeing a coworker. Then his new world begins to unravel; as his past becomes known, he strikes up a high-risk friendship with a young girl and realizes that a man loitering near a schoolyard is a child molester prowling for his next victim.

Good watch that makes you feel dirty when it's over. I don't recommend watching before bed.

Unnerving and difficult to watch, but Kevin Bacon delivers impressive work.

If you're in the mood for a dark character study film and you're curious about the everyday monsters all around us, it's worth a watch.

Hard to watch, Kevin did a great job. The movie left me feeling uncomfortable.

Very dark movie, I still feel conflicted about the message and plot of the movie. Undeniably a well made movie with good acting though

Good movie and very uncomfortable to watch at points but the bad thing is you end up feeling sorry for him but you shouldn’t 7/10

This movie touches a very sensitive and controversial subject with surprising humanity. Kevin Bacon is a very brave actor.

A moving indie drama on a difficult to watch subject matter but the movie is crafted so well, topped by a brilliant Kevin Bacon performance
