Synopsis

BEN IS BACK is a powerful drama that follows Ben Burns (Hedges) fresh out of rehab, who returns home to his unsuspecting family one fateful Christmas Eve. Holly Burns (Roberts), Ben’s welcoming but weary mother, must do everything in her power to keep her son out of harm’s way during a 24-hour span that may change the course of their lives forever. Heartfelt and harrowing, this film shows us how far we will go to save the ones we love.
