The Flats

A deeply compelling story of longing and desire couched in the relationship of two best friends six months after a decisive event changed their lives. Harper returns home on the eve of a court date that could send him to jail. Self-destructive and unwilling to show any crack in his armour, he decides to make the most of the few days of freedom he has remaining. Living with his rag-tag friends, who zealously protect him yet can’t begin to offer a haven for his vulnerability, Harper finds unexpected comfort in Luke’s new girlfriend, Paige, who has returned to the area in search of her Native American roots. As Luke’s days are filled with the demands of a new job, Harper and Paige spend their time exploring the safety and honesty of their emerging mutual desire — a desire that leads to a surprising showdown and test of faith.
