Justin McLeod has been an outsider since he arrived in Cranesport, Maine. There he lives with the solitude his tragic past and disfigurement have forced upon him. But that isolation is unexpectedly about to change. Mel Gibson (who would go on to win two Academy Awards? two years later for 'Braveheart') stars as McLeod and makes his directing debut in his compelling tale of a man's triumph over loneliness and a boy's transition to adulthood over one special summer.
Synopsis: A troubled young boy seeks tutelage from a badly scarred recluse. A strong friendship develops and releases both of them from their loneliness.
