STEEL CITY is a stirring family drama from the heartland of America about pride, remorse and forgiveness. When Carl Lee (John Heard) is involved in a fatal car accident he finds himself behind bars, cut off from his life and alienated by his family. His youngest son PL (Thomas Guiry), confused by life without his dad, is the only person to visit him. While PJ's girlfriend (America Ferrera) stays lovingly by his side and his Uncle Vic (Raymond J. Barry) extends a helping hand, a belligerent older brother (Clayne Crawford) and the reality of being on his own force PJ to grow up faster than he'd like. It's not until a devastating secret is revealed that the family reunites and a regretful father learns that you can never take back the past, but you can let go of it.

When PJ Lee's (Tom Guiry) father (John Heard) is arrested for vehicular manslaughter, it's just the icing on the cake for a teen whose life is already difficult, thanks to a broken home and dysfunctional relationships. In short order, PJ gets fired, has a falling out with his girlfriend (America Ferrera) and is kicked out of the family home. Through it all, however, the film -- which earned a Grand Jury nod at the Sundance Film Festival -- manages to strike a hopeful tone.
