The Long, Hot Summer

19581hr 55min

In the sultry setting of a small Mississippi town, a stranger named Ben Quick blows in like a hot summer wind, stirring up more than just trouble. Accused of crimes he may or may not have committed, Quick weaves his way into the lives of the town's elite family, the Varners, with a charm as fiery as the sun beating down on the sweltering streets.

As tensions rise and secrets simmer beneath the surface, the dynamics of power and desire play out in a seductive dance between Quick and the Varner clan. With each twist and turn, alliances shift, passions ignite, and the line between friend and foe blurs in the scorching heat of the summer sun. Will Quick's flames of charisma ignite a lasting inferno, or will the town be left smoldering in the aftermath of his unpredictable presence? Venture into this cinematic cauldron of intrigue and seduction, where the only certainty is that the summer is long, and the heat is even hotter.
