In Simon Rumley’s (THE LIVING AND THE DEAD) darkly emotional tale, the lives of three young people intertwine in a fateful, tragic way.

Erica lives in the local co-op, but spends her nights trawling the bars and beds of Austin. Damaged, emotionally withdrawn, never really connecting with anyone and sleeping with multiple men is just what she does, until she meets the mysterious Nate. Despite his quiet air of danger, Nate is the only guy who doesn’t seem to want to get her into bed, and the two form a hesitant bond. Franki is a young, hotheaded wannabe rock star trying to make it big. Looking after a sick mother and estranged from his long-term girlfriend, he “shared” Erica with his buddies one drunken evening. It takes a sudden shocking twist of fate to throw his already crazy world into a spin, and in Franki’s eyes there is only one person to blame.

An unashamedly tough and uncompromising movie, RED WHITE & BLUE is a fearlessly frank, gut-wrenching romance and a merciless exploration of the futility of violence.
