Plot summary

In a forgotten pocket of Southern Ohio where American manufacturing and opportunity are drying up, a determined young woman finds a ticket out when she is accepted to college. Alongside her older brother, Ruth Avery joins a dangerous scrap metal crew in order to pay her way. Together, they spend one brutal winter working the scrap yards during the day and stealing valuable metal from the once thriving factories by night. With her goal in sight, Ruth finds that the ultimate cost of an education for a girl like her may be more than she bargained for, and she soon finds herself torn between a promising future and the family she would leave behind.

Ruth Avery (Jessica Barden) is a teenager living in a dying industrial American town. With her older brother, they steal recyclables to sell to a junkyard owned by Hark. Their home is under eviction threat. Their mother Rhonda is in jail and struggling to find rehab. She herself is struggling to graduate from high school since she keeps skipping to go work. She gets an opportunity to attend college, but there are overwhelming hurdles.This movie paints a compelling picture of a place and a social class. It sets up for a compelling story. Although this story misses some opportunities for greater drama. I'm just looking for a bigger story. I actually thought the brother was the one killed during the incident. That would have been dramatic. Jessica Barden is great, but she is getting a little too old to play a teenager. All in all, this sets up for something good, but the potential is not fully realized.

This was my life.

I lived this story in the Rustbelt of Ohio. Dad wouldn't pay for college because he didn't believe God wanted girls to be educated. Discovered Early Admissions to the local college but never knew I could've gone anywhere else. Worked for 18 years bartending and waiting tables to finally get my Ph. D. This movie is authentic.
