finds himself out of a job, a home and deeply in debt thanks to his high-flying
lifestyle. One bus ride later, he’s on his parents’ doorstep in a quaint New
Hampshire town. Harrison’s parents Ben (Nicolas Campbell) and Marla (Deborah
Tennant) are surprised and thrilled to see him, but suspicious. So, Harrison

16-year-old Razor (Jahmil French). Plus, his local Reverend (Scott Thompson)
