In Old Kentucky

In the wake of the Great War, the rolling hills of the Bluegrass State offer little solace to Major Brierly, a man whose spirit remains trapped in the trenches. While the world moves forward into the Roaring Twenties, the Major retreats into the bottom of a bottle, leaving his son, young Jimmy Brierly, to navigate the wreckage of their family legacy. The only bridge between the Major’s former glory and his current decay is a courageous horse that served alongside him on the front lines. Jimmy, embodying a desperate resilience, takes it upon himself to rehabilitate both the man and the beast. The narrative culminates in a high-stakes bid for redemption at the Kentucky Derby, where the horse’s speed becomes the ultimate metaphor for the family's race against time and self-destruction. It is a story of the scars we cannot see and the loyalty that refuses to let go.
