Eli Zeal (Reynolds) is a bitter Jewish shopkeeper who is shot during a
hold-up attempt by the 11-year-old son of a single mother in Washington D.C..
Distraught and with nowhere else to turn, the boy's mother Tyree Battle, played
by April Grace (Finding Forrester, Magnolia), kidnaps the wounded Zeal and along
with her son, flees to her small hometown of Waterproof, Louisiana - and a
family she hasn't seen in years.
Thrust into the unfamiliar world of the deep south, Zeal finds himself
surrounded by Tyree's brothers - one battling a severe brain injury (Orland
Jones), the other an angry alcoholic (Anthony Lee) - her hundred year old
grandfather (Whitman Mayo) and a mother of irrepressible faith (Ja'net Dubois).
But, as they work to nurse Zeal back to health, dark shadows begin to emerge
from the family's past - forcing them to confront a dreadful secret that has
torn them apart.
Filled with powerful performances from an ensemble cast, Waterproof is
a heart-wrenching and beautiful story of the search for truth, and power of forgiveness.
