Little Boy Blue (1997)

In the barren landscapes of the Texas Panhandle, a dysfunctional family wrestles with dark secrets and unimaginable hardships. Ray, the family patriarch and a scarred Vietnam veteran, struggles with an affliction that renders him impotent, his war wounds manifesting in an unfortunate cycle of domestic abuse. His wife, Kate, is caught in a web of compliance, a silent figure in the twisted dynamic of their home. Their eldest son, Jimmy, a 19-year-old burdened with the weight of their father's warped desires, is forced into an incestuous relationship with his mother. Despite the horrors at home, Jimmy is determined to protect his two younger brothers, who bear an uncanny resemblance to him. He seeks solace in the confines of a shed, his suspicions about his father's secret simmering beneath the surface but never fully surfacing. The arrival of a middle-aged Yankee woman named Doris, seeking a deceased private investigator, stirs the stagnant air of the small town. The mysterious stranger's presence threatens to expose the ugly truth Ray is desperate to conceal, pushing him to the edge of murderous intent. As the plot unravels, the haunting question persists: why does Ray insist on calling Jimmy "little boy blue?" This gripping tale of survival, secrets, and strained family bonds will keep viewers on the edge of their seats, yearning for justice in a world that seems to have forgotten the meaning of the word.
