Emily Wright original

Jason Tally’s trust fund will be lost, unless the eighteen year old serves an eight week sentence to farm work. This is a punishment conjured up by his grandfather and agreed upon by his own father. As an over-privileged rich kid from Toronto, Jason has never worked a day in his life and like every teen, he is misunderstood. A little bit of trouble at school was supposed to put his workaholic father in the stands at his games, not get him kicked from the team. Without football, Jason’s secret would be out and his coveted statues would be threatened. By skipping class to smoke dope, he earns the attention he seeks. It is the summer of 1992 and Jason finds himself in rural Ontario, living with two barbaric farmhands and working with livestock under a menacing boss who hates him. For the first time in his life, Jason is an outcast. With no prospects of college, the Tally trust fund is his only lifeline. Quitting is not an option, neither is living with all the mistakes that money cannot fix.
