Justin Kopechne, an idealist butting up against the real world fights for all he is worth to educate/rehabilitate juvenile delinquents in a reformatory in nowhere, Texas. Two friends, one a minor capo in a drug cartel, the other a sheriff in Starmount County, cross paths with him as the capo tries to steer him away from getting involved while the sheriff succumbs to help from the cartel to win his reelection. At home, Justin alienates his wife and locks horns with his cynical brother and sister-in-law.
