Sand
Directed by Matt Palmieri
Starring Michael Vartan, Norman Reedus, Kari Wuhrer, and Denis Leary
Soon after Ty (Michael Vartan) finds out his mother has died, he leaves his sleazy half-family in Barstow and heads for the coast, where his mother grew up and where the beach gives him solace. Soon he makes friends with beach native Jack (Norman Reedus) and falls for his sister, Sandy (Kari Wuhrer). Without warning, Ty's hard-edged father, his profane uncle (Leary), and his two low-life half-brothers show up, needing a place to hide from the cops for awhile. Ty wants them gone, but his stubborn and ornery family checks into the local motel. Things get worse when the low-life brothers sexually assault Sandy. Her brother and his pals reply with fists, sparking a violent trading-off of revenges until lives hang in the balance.
