Plot Summary
The small working-class town of Angels Crest is a tight-knit community resting quietly in one of the vast and stunningly beautiful valleys of the Rocky Mountains. Ethan (Thomas Dekker), one of the town’s residents, is a young father but not much more than a kid himself. He has no choice but to look after his three-year-old son Nate, since Nate’s mother, Cindy (Lynn Collins), is an alcoholic. Then one snowy day, Ethan’s good intentions are thwarted by a moment of thoughtlessness, resulting in tragedy. A local prosecutor (Jeremy Piven) haunted by his past pursues Ethan, and the ensuing confusion and casting of blame starts tearing the town apart.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Despite several solid performances, the characters are too hazily sketched and too loosely linked to form a meaningful chain.
Rotten: While there is a great deal of weeping and wailing going on in the town of Angels Crest, little of it is connected to a comprehensible or cohesive plot.
Rotten: Catherine Trieschmann's script, based on the novel by Leslie Schwartz, barely scratches the potentially loaded surfaces it serves up.
Rotten: Drama about the small-town aftermath of a child's accidental death can't match its sincerity with dramatic heft.

The 5 Stages of Grief
This movie puts you through the grieving process. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. Unfortunately, it is acceptance that starts the process all over again.
