When
we first meet Dwight Evans (Macon Blair) in the grim revenge thriller
BLUE RUIN, he's
living out of his car and eating out of dumpsters. A police officer
takes Dwight aside not to cite him, but to let him know that Wade
Cleland, the man convicted of killing Dwight's parents, is being
released from prison. Suddenly Dwight has a new sense of purpose. He
follows Wade as he is released from prison and kills the man with
relative ease. What comes after will be anything but easy.
Dwight realizes
his actions have put his sister and her family in danger of
retaliation from Wade's family, so after getting her to leave town he
sets a trap at her house. When members of the Cleland family show up,
Dwight captures Wade's brother Teddy (Kevin Kolack), who eventually
reveals the real story of who killed Dwight's parent's and why. By
this point Dwight just wants to end the cycle of violence and ensure
his sister's safety, but the chances of that happening don't look
good.
