While two brothers were out deer hunting Nate Towne (Spencer Treat Clark),the older of the two, accidentally shoots and kills Mayor Cavanaugh. Skylar (Nick Eversman) the younger of the siblings, opts to take the rap because he is a minor. Their father Bloom is the sheriff (Ted Levine) in a town that is literally owned by the Cavanaughs.
To twist things more, the Mayor's wife insists young Skylar be tried as an adult. Nate, the trigger man, is the boyfriend of the Mayor's daughter he shot and the deputy (Martin Starr) is a Cavanaugh, who seems to be interested in real justice.
The incident opens up a past sore, one unknown to the boys. Eventually the film becomes a man hunt for Butch and Sundance as one can deduce from the cover.
The plot of the film is interesting and had enough complexity for a decent indie. Unfortunately it was not well developed. Likewise characters were never developed and the dialogue went through the motions. While things were happening on the screen, I found myself waiting to for this thing to end.
Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

Plot summary
Bloom Towne is a small-town sheriff under the thumb of the well-established, deeply influential Mayor Dick Cavanaugh's family. When Bloom's two teenage sons, Nate and Skylar accidentally shoot and kill Dick during a deer-hunt, Bloom's long-held allegiance to the reigning Cavanaugh clan is tested. Skylar (still a minor) decides to take the wrap for his older brother Nate, claiming he fired the fatal shot. The Cavanaugh family's quick retaliation sends Skylar on his way to county jail, soon to be tried as an adult. Desperate and guilt-ridden, Nate breaks Skylar out of jail and sets off a chain of lawless acts, which send them deep into the woods and on the run. Bloom's choice between the law and his sons leads to revelations of old family secrets that threaten to destroy everything he loves.

Butch and Sundance
Not as bad as it sounds
A hunting accident results in a dead man, who else but the town mayor. I've seen much better with much bigger budgets with much bigger star's. Think of "Road House" with Patrick Swayze and this is basically that movie. Two brothers who happens to be the sheriff's son's so on the lam and are hunted like prey. What we get in reality are the two teenage leads who's performance carries the movie. But not all the actors were in top form. The end kinda disappoints but at least it ends with a message. How far would a family go to protect each other and how far would a father go to protect his kids. A lot could have been avoided had everyone did their jobs but then again we wouldn't have a movie.
Thriller and Suspenseful Action By Youngins!
After watching this wonderful movie & totally disagreeing with the current rating of 5.0, it was incumbent upon me to write this review. Yes, family matters and in the end it truly did. The father's love for his boys, two brothers, shone through from beginning to end. However, I would be remiss if I did not single out the superb acting of the two lead young actors, Nicker Eversman(Skyler) and Spencer Treat Clark(Nate),both of whom, obviously have been cast in other movies, primarily due to their performance in this movie. The viewer can't help but be riveted by their acting but their gorgeous looks & bodies, especially the one scene in the back of a truck where a shirtless young boy emerged!! Their thrilling "escape journey" along with the cinematography made this movie a treat to watch. You have NOT seen the last of Nicker & Spencer, both of whom have done some TV work. Congrats guys!!
