110 minutes • 2019 • 5.6

Based on real-life events, this is a bombshell of a movie which centers around a young, success-driven fresh-out-of-the academy FBI agent who is sent to Pikeville, a beleaguered mining town in rural Kentucky; where he is sent to as his first assignment to investigate a local chop-shop ring and various other illegal activities. Once ensconced in his work, Putnam gets way too involved with a local down-on-her-luck local woman who becomes his star informant. The events that transpire will ultimately shake the small mining community, and ultimately alter the lives of all involved for untold years to come.
