Neon exit signs. The only way out, is through. Rhys Hartman just has to do so without losing teeth.


--


Rhys Hartman is forced to face himself and his addictions after the startling death of his mother. Moving in with his estranged brother in the aftermath of a messy funeral, Rhys struggles in therapy, with his drug use, and the ugly truth of his mother and the history of who they both are.

A story of wounds and healing, of addiction and sobriety, of grace and forgiveness for the sake of yourself, and pouring one out to a new era, cigarettes in the winter time, a broken clock, shattered noses and fractured wrists, barfights and teeth flying, a raw, ugly truth:

THAT NEON EXIT SIGN

The only way out, is through.
