Faced with the responsibility to take care of her addict, veteran father, headstrong teen Mickey Peck keeps her household afloat. (IMDB)

“The movie is set in foot-of-the-mountains Anaconda, where it was also shot. A former mining center, it's now home to a large community of military veterans, an aspect that initially drew Attanasio to the locale. For all her research, though, the film never lapses into a treatise or lecture.” -Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter
