Luckytown

In the summer of 1982, a young man named Judd gets out of prison and decides to reunite with his estranged father, only to discover his father has died. He ends up in a small town in Idaho, where he falls for a girl named Eliza, who is the daughter of his father's former business partner. Their budding romance is complicated by their families' troubled past and the societal pressures of their small town.
