Show detail Hide detail

Set on the pristine shores of Nova Scotia, A STONE'S THROW follows the dramatic journey of impassioned photojournalist Jack Walker whose work exposes the consequences of the industrial exploitation of nature. One day, Jack shows up, unannounced, at the home of his sister, Olivia, who lives in a rural Nova Scotian town that expects to have about 125 new job positions thanks to the opening of Cynaco and MacNeil Mining Company. Olivia and her fifteen year old son, Thomas, haven't seen Jack in years. His unexpected reappearance proves to be a great challenge to Olivia's meticulously constructed life, forcing the siblings to reopen wounds from the difficult past they share, particularly with regards to their father. Jack's eco-activism inspires his young, idealistic nephew to take action in his hometown. Thomas begins pursuing an investigation into the potential health hazards caused by a local paint-manufacturing plant and gets arrested. At the same time, Jack's inner need for human connection finds a willing match in his sister's close friend, Lia, a single mother and a teacher at the local Waldorf School. What Olivia and Lia do not know about Jack is that he has been labeled an "eco-terrorist" and is on the most wanted list of the FBI. While Jack collects gas cans and empty milk jugs for a possible project that he may launch against Cynaco and the MacNeil Mining Company, he and Lia begin to develop a profound physical and emotional connection. As Jack's recent and illegal "eco-terrorist" actions are about to catch up with him, Olivia's estranged brother is ultimately forced to confront his inner demons and the consequences of acting blindly. <1h 38mn 33s>
