BALLAST
Although only 12 years old, James, is already beginning to stumble under the weight of poverty endemic to the Delta. As Marlee, his single mother, struggles to sustain their tenuous existence through long hours at a demeaning and poorly paying job, James is left to his own devices. He wanders. His venturings take him into the natural landscape, where he finds solace, and, increasingly, into the turbulent orbit of a group of local teenagers whom he seeks to impress. When James interaction with the teenagers turns abruptly violent, Marlee reacts instinctively to excise him from the conflict. They flee their home in the night and alight. What ensues is a demonstration of the practical value of humility when the future of a child is in peril.
