Palm Trees and Power Lines from writer-director Jamie Dack is destined to become a divisive feature film dealing as it does with the reality of relationships in contemporary society by exploring taboo topics. The story focuses on a socially questionable connection between Lea (Lily McInerny) and Tom (Jonathan Tucker), A teenager lacking any strong father figure and an adult in his thirties, who knowingly manipulates her for financial gain.
Expanded from a short that Dack wrote and directed previously, this mini-budget indie effort slowly draws audiences in through vicarious observation. Following Lea and her mother Sandra (Gretchen Mol) as they simply live their lives, against the backdrop of suburban California, viewers Lea hanging out with her best friend Amber (Quinn Frankel) and various boys within their friendship group, whilst attending high school.
