LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/24/09 -- Every family has issues when the teenage years hit. Rebellion, defiance and self-discovery are common occurrences, especially among teenage boys. "River's End" is a heart-warming tale and coming-of-age story that depicts just this scenario. Starring Sam Huntington ("FanBoys," "Superman Returns") as Clay, a 16-year-old teenager and Barry Corbin ("The Closer," "One Tree Hill," "Northern Exposure") his tough-love grandfather. The film is set in the beautiful, stark landscape of the Pecos River in West Texas. A harrowing adventure filled with excitement, emotion and romance, this film will appeal to adults and teens alike. Beautifully shot, with a high-production value, with original music by Dan Roberts (Garth Brooks songwriter), this film is certain to become a classic.
The story revolves around Clay (Sam Harrington), a rebellious 16-year-old who is visibly out-of-place in his new home of Menard, Texas. Bitter over his father's recent death, he gets in trouble with the law. His grandpa, Buster (Barry Corbin) who happens to be the town sheriff, decides to pick up the reigns and break the rank colt, so to speak. Using cowboy logic and tough-love tactics to straighten out his angry teenage grandson, Clay is given a choice -- go to jail or receive his punishment by embarking on a survivalist boat trip, by himself, down the rugged Pecos River, where he just might discover what he is really made of.
