Synopsis: 1972. Vietnam war protests and racial tension is sizzling in the late summer heat of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Billy Mitchell, a recent college graduate, spends the summer working on the lush grounds of an old world mental institution run by his psychiatrist father. Billy falls in love with Virginia, a patient who is possibly crazy, or perhaps she is the only sane person Billy has in his world. Billy’s best friend Nigel becomes involved with a radical civil rights terrorism movement against Tuscaloosa’s power elite, which includes Billy’s father. Billy is torn between Nigel, his father and his cronies, and Virginia who is planning her escape with or without Billy.
