Sick of living in a home shrouded with secrets, lies and a smothering sense of competition, Gus (Zach Gilford, Friday Night Lights) runs away from home and the shadow of his famous fly-fishing father (William Hurt). Determined to live life like he wants it, Gus makes his new home in a secluded cabin on the banks of a river where he meets Eddy, an attractive, free-spirited girl (Amber Heard, Zombieland). Together they go on a journey of self-discovery as their relationship grows deeper and deeper. Based on a book that has become a cult classic and set in the breathtaking wilds of Oregon, The River Why will cast a spell on your heart. (official distributor synopsis)
