Show Description

When national obscenity laws close down the last library in a small midwestern town, former librarian Kate begins distributing books out of her private collection. These laws soon escalate to arrests and government-sponsored book burnings, forcing Kate to utilize more clandestine means. She soon finds herself at the center of a book trading underground, while fighting to keeping her family safe. Written by Jen Raines with Chris Cole. Directed by Chris Cole.
