Pete is at the end of his rope.
Already half way through his twenties, he feels that life has managed to pass him by. He is distant from his friends. His longtime relationship with Laura is failing. He clings to a youthful past and entertains no dreams for the future.
These things he blames on Newtown. The tired old Rust Belt city has sucked him dry. It is his prison and his curse. So when one fateful summer brings a chance at escape and the promise of starting over, he grasps it tightly. But when change leads to unexpected ends, Pete must decide if hope was ever anything more than an empty illusion.
In Newtown is a small tale of heartbreak and self-acceptance. Set at the dawn of middle America's angriest years, it uncovers the ugliness, the truths, and the beauty of life in the quiet corners of flyover country.
