Union County
Recovery is filmed as a community, not a solitary redemption.
Brothers Cody and Jack Parsons enter a court-mandated drug rehabilitation program in rural Ohio, where a tireless counsellor and a community of people in recovery offer the possibility of a sober future. Will Poulter and Noah Centineo perform alongside non-professional actors drawing on their own experiences.
