Jolie Hoyt, the daughter of a Pentecostal preacher in the backwater town of Hendrix, Florida, is unwittingly set up on a date. The suitor in the offing is one Sam Lense, a Jewish anthropology student from Miami investigating the history of Native Americans in Hendrix. Jolie is smitten by the smart and handsome big-city boy. But when Sam is shot during a family hunting trip, it becomes clear that his research is far edgier than simple ethnography. He's seeking closure for a crime committed against his family many years before. In a heartbeat, Sam disappears from Hendrix and Jolie's life. More than a decade later, a black businessman out to settle a score of his own arrives in Hendrix and brings the one-time lovers together again. Includes sex, strong language and violence. 2012.
