Dryden

Each year, the isolated ghost town of Dryden, Texas hosts the annual Día de los Muertos festival. After the dust clears and a young vendor named LRay stays behind, a powerful friendship ensues between him and a free-spirited teenager named Benet.
These days, Benet spends her time working alongside her older friends and living the ultimate bohemian lifestyle. When she befriends the quiet, thoughtful LRay, the owner of a food trailer in town for the festival, they instantly click even though she knows very little about him. Meanwhile, LRay contemplates a life on the run, and the proximity of the Mexican border just a few miles away lures him each day he spends in Dryden. They smoke, dance, swim, and sleep each day away, unbothered by any apprehensions. When LRay finally confesses that he must soon face trial for the rape of a 14-year-old girl, a crime he didn't commit, Benet is forced to think outside of herself and her safe surroundings. Will LRay choose to live as a free man, always looking behind his back? Or will he find the courage to face a harsh judicial system in a small, racist Texas town that's notorious for the unusually harsh sentencing of black youths?
