America Brown

In America Brown, a coming-of-age drama, high school football star Ricky Brown (True Blood's Ryan Kwanten) flees his hometown in west Texas to start a new life in New York City. There he begins to cope with the accidental death of his older brother, Daniel (Michael Rapaport), and the lingering pressures of a small town's football-crazed culture. Ricky turns up on the doorstep of his childhood hero, the last great quarterback from his hometown, John Cross (Hill Harper), now a priest in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. After an emotional stay in New York, Ricky returns to Texas to confront what forced him to flee.
