Film: Carried Away
CARRIED AWAY tells the story of a young man (Gabriel Horn) pursuing his dreams in Hollywood, who returns home to Texas at Christmas to find his family in turmoil.
His parents’ marriage (Mark Walters and Morgana Shaw) is floundering; his younger brother (Tyler Corie) awaits trial for dealing pot; and his older brother (Bryan Massey) holds a bitter grudge against him. Most worrisome of all, however, his beloved paternal grandmother (Juli Erickson) has been committed to a nursing home after suffering a stroke, which has left her mentally disabled.
In defiance of his father, and with Granny’s full cooperation, he abducts her, intending to take her back with him to Los Angeles to live. His father and brothers set out after them in a cross-country pursuit that comes to a surprising conclusion in the Californian desert.
