Hitze

A gripping thriller about home, loyalty, and forgiveness. The worst drought in decades weighs down like hot lead on the rural town of Kiewarra, situated in the middle of nowhere. The farmers' livestock is dying, and the people fear for their existence. When Luke Hadler, his wife, and their son Billy are found shot dead, everyone believes that the farmer has gone mad and committed extended suicide. But Sergeant Raco has his doubts. Aaron Falk returns to Kiewarra after twenty years for the funeral of his childhood friend Luke. Soon, old wounds are reopened; distrust casts its dark shadows over the small town. And as the heat rises, so does the pressure. Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon secured the film rights for "Heat.".
