Lawn Dogs

A young girl named Devon Connors, escaping her neglectful parents, finds solace in the company of a quiet, kind lawnmower man named Trent. Living in an exclusive, heavily guarded community, Devon's burgeoning friendship with Trent is viewed with suspicion and fear by the adults around her, particularly her parents who are concerned with appearances. As their bond deepens, it challenges the rigid social structures and prejudices of their environment.
