Walker Payne [Jason Patric] lives in a small Illinois coal town where the local mine is shutting down under new sulfur-content regulations. The scene is set with a weathered gadget of the past—the license plate on Walker’s old Ford pickup reads 1957—hinting at a life trying to stay afloat in a world that’s changing beneath it.
