Ben Meadows (Jesse C. Boyd), visiting his home town in Texas for the first time in ten years, ends up in a coma following a car accident on the way home from his mother's funeral. When Ben wakes from his condition, his doctors realize he is suffering from amnesia. Ben's younger brother, Lee (Layton Matthews), takes him home to recover and it isn't long before Ben begins piecing his memory back together. In a bid to regain his now-lost past, Ben convinces Lee to travel with him to Los Angeles, California in an effort to track down their estranged father. Once in LA, the two discover that their father is not the same person they were hoping to reconnect with and find themselves falling deeper and deeper into a crime world they don't understand. In this gritty tale set in today's urban LA, two brothers come to the realization that some things are better left in the past where they belong.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
