Synopsis:

Pace Creagan, a tough, charismatic girl of 17, ropes Dalton (15) into her greatest obsession: running the trestle that spans the dried-up Pope Lick Creek, playing chicken with the 7:10 train that already claimed the life of a friend. In a town wasted by the economic depression, in which neither Dalton’s nor Pace’s parents can offer them any hope for the future, there is nothing for them to do but court death in order to feel alive. The Trestle at Pope Lick Creek unrolls it’s spare, bleak beauty, timelines converge and the living and dead collide in this rough, poetic drama which explores intergenerational devastation, economically hopeless circumstances, emerging sexuality, and the wondrous abilities of the human imagination.
