The story

In the isolated backwoods of Texas lives the deeply dysfunctional West family: Ray, a psychotic Vietnam War veteran; his compliant wife, Kate; and their 19-year-old son, Jimmy, who is confined to a warehouse separate from the main house. Outwardly, Ray and Kate appear to run a normal bar and raise their two sons, but behind closed doors, Ray is violently abusive. He exerts a shocking control over Jimmy, even pressuring him into a disturbing sexual relationship and taunting him with the nickname "Little Boy Blue." Jimmy's life is further complicated when he talks with his girlfriend, Traci Connor, about his future.
