Riverside

Bobby Patrick, abandoned by his mother as a child and by his alcoholic father during high school, wants a better life for himself and his true love, Katie. The two young lovers decide to open a café and chase their dreams under the radiant Austin sunsets. There, the long, hot days of summer in the early nineties inspire their passion--but complications arise when Katie's former love interest returns, bringing with him a whirlwind of trouble. As Katie's dark past reveals itself, Bobby fears it could threaten all they have been striving for. Along with Katie's best friend, Sara, with whom Bobby has his own secret history, the couple becomes tangled up in a drug deal and falls under close watch by Austin police and New Orleans mobsters. Bobby must find a way to protect Katie, help Sara, and help himself to thousands of dollars from the ill-fated deal. If he can't, his future with Katie could be shattered forever.
