"Ordinary Soil brings to haunting life the desperate realities of the American heartland but also offers a glimpse into a better future... a call to action for all of us." -WOODY HARRELSON

Terrorized by a shadow from the past, a young man attempts suicide under a rotting burial elm, inadvertently unearthing a dark ancestral history and exposing diseased roots of abandonment and abuse. But a secret also waits to be discovered, deep in the ordinary soil, that holds the redemptive power to save both the man and the land.
