Danny Trejo, Richard Tyson, Diane Ladd, Colton Rodgers, Tony Longo, B.J. Thomas, David Della RoccoEx-Footballstar Johnny Dunn hat sich nach dem tragischen Tod seiner Eltern in das Wüstenkaff Jake's Corner zurückgezogen, wo er eine Bar betreibt. Als das Schicksal ein weiteres Mal zuschlägt und seine Schwester und ihr Mann bei einem Verkehrsunfall ums Leben kommen, sieht er sich gezwungen, seinen kleinen Neffen Spence bei sich aufzunehmen. Spence weiß (noch) nicht, was mit seinen Eltern passiert ist, und freundet sich mit den illustren Bewohnern von Jake's Corner an.
Auch wenn Cover und Titel der deutschen DVD-Fassung offenbar bewusst irreführende Erinnerungen an "From Dusk Till Dawn" wachrufen, handelt es sich hier einfach nur um einen netten Familienfilm, in dem Danny Trejo als Teil eines bunten Ensembles (u.a. auch Dianne Ladd und Grammy-Gewinner B.J. Thomas) den örtlichen Alkoholiker gibt.
The fictional story of an ex-football star, Johnny Dunn, who moves far from the spotlight after a family tragedy to a small, desert town he owns called Jake's Corner. This dramatic comedy is a cross between Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) and "Northern Exposure" (1990). Set in the real town of Jake's Corner, Arizona, it is a rest stop for travelers making their way through the Arizona desert, but for the people who live there, it's a rest stop for life. Johnny and the eclectic ensemble that live and work in the town occupy trailers behind the Corner Store and Jake's Corner Bar. Through the years, this cast of misfits has become closer than most families - they are kin. The dynamic of the town is changed forever when Johnny's young nephew comes to live with him.
