This is a story about drugs and family along the bend in the river. In and out of incarceration, Travis Simmons and his family deal with an emotional, social, and physical landscape that shifts constantly beneath them. Their hopes and dreams hinge on the ability of the 28-year-old father to stay away from drugs and support his family. Travis attempts to move past his addiction, escape a constant state of incarceration and become the father that he knows he can be. “Right now, at this time and this place in my life is a time to straighten up, get my act together and be the father that I need to be. And that is one that is sober,” Travis said the night before he was sentenced to prison.
