Eleven-year-old Claude Kinkade considers himself an orphan of
sorts. His father, Major Blake Kinkade, died in the Gulf War.
Claude's mother, Daisy, travels to Las Vegas to pursue a singing
career. Left with relatives on a Pennsylvania farm, Claude begins a
journey of his own.
In Pennsylvania Claude meets his illustrious cousin, Nathean
Summers, the family's golden boy. Nathe first appeared before the
cameras in 1954 at age eight. His meteoric rise toward stardom
sputtered; by the late 1960s his films were forgotten. After a
turbulent career in publishing, he returns to the family farm to
recover remnants of his boyhood and begin life anew in "Summers
Run."
Claude's and Nathe's lives entwine as they forge their futures
together. They form a Little League team for the farm boys of the
township. Soon they encounter Standing Ovation, the legendary bull
of the neighborhood; Parsimonious Murphy, the reluctant recluse;
and Tim Hathaway, the deaf orphan who wants to shine in center
field.
More than a story of Americana or baseball on a country
diamond, more than fly-fishing or film acting, "Summers Run"
mirrors the larger issues of decisions, expectations, and the
dreams and realities found along the back roads.
