State of Mind

You're a quiet teen in juvenile lockup, charged with a shocking crime. But a sympathetic teacher sees something deeper. The facts keep changing. Then a grieving family and a fractured town demand answers. The teacher risks everything to understand. Hoge's directorial debut struggles to find its own answers, lingering on the search.
