SMALL TOWN is a story of the passions that lie just below the surface of a deceptively placid upstate New York village. What has fists clenched is a simmering triangle between Ben Winslow, a middle-aged widower, his son Eboni and Winslow's young sister-in-law, Annie.

Their relationships shift and blur, but never their feelings. The arrival of Annie's Irish father, amiable but drunk, brings everything to a head. The resulting confrontation nearly blows the community apart.
