Boundary Waters is a lyrical coming of age drama that immerses in its young characters. Set in the Iron Range of Northern Minnesota, Michael Murray relishes in the carefree joys of early adolescence - girls and friends - until his mom has a black eye and a busted lip, but won’t talk about it. Michael is desperate to know what happened but his father Brian avoids him, Granny shushes him, and his usually resilient mother can’t get out of bed. While his family weighs the cost of keeping secrets against the price of telling the truth, Michael is determined to unravel the mystery of his hurt mother and his elusive father.
