Straight A's (2013)

In the depths of his hedonistic descent into addiction, Scott made the daring choice to abandon his common lover, Katherine, at the altar, a decision that sent shockwaves through their shared existence. As Scott embraced his addictive vices, Katherine, left in the wake of heartbreak, found solace in the arms of Scott's brother, William. A successful yet relentlessly busy businessman in Louisiana, William's life is a whirlwind of business trips and suspected infidelities, casting a shadow over their bright but nerdy son Charles, whose paternity remains a mystery. Haunted by the spectral insistence of his late mother, Scott is driven to return home, armed with a bag of pills and a sack of marijuana as his only companions on a path towards redemption, or perhaps, further destruction. His driver's license being a casualty of his reckless lifestyle, Scott makes an unanticipated return on horseback, emerging as an enigmatic figure on the family's horizon. Scott's re-entry into the family dynamic is as disruptive as it is intriguing. He assumes the role of the unpredictable yet popular uncle for Charles, offering a chaotic counterpoint to the sterile rigidity of his father. Meanwhile, his attempts at reconciliation with his Alzheimer's-stricken father prove futile, adding another layer of complexity to his already turbulent homecoming. As Scott navigates the labyrinth of his past and present, a heartbreaking secret gradually surfaces, casting his unpredictable behavior and forced return home in a new, poignant light. "Straight A's" is a stirring exploration of familial bonds, personal demons, and the arduous journey towards redemption, painting a vivid portrait of a man caught between his past mistakes and the possibility of a second chance.
