Based on the novel Hunt by Barry Crump, troublemaker Ricky is sent to the countryside of New Zealand to live with a foster family. When his foster aunt tragically passes away, Ricky is told by child services that he is going to return to the city, against his will. Ricky runs away from his foster uncle, who follows him into the wilderness, leading the authorities to believe that Ricky has been kidnapped by his foster uncle.

An examination of disgraced New York Congressman Anthony Weiner’s mayoral campaign and the landscape of today’s political landscape.

“The movie goes from being interesting to riveting, from ‘Yes, this is quite good’ to you-cannot-leave-your-seat-and-don’t-even-want-to-blink.” -Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

“This film doesn’t lionize Weiner or justify anything he did. What it does is capture the frenzy of politics, the iron-clad egos of politicians, and the failure of the media to cover the parts of campaigning and government that actually matter.” -Noel Murray, AV Club

“You can watch years of political documentaries and never see a moments nearly as intimate and wrenching as the ones you see here.” -Will Leitch, The New Republic
