 A Stone s Throw follows the dramatic story of JACK WALKER (Kris Holden-Ried), an American photojournalist whose work exposes the exploitation of nature by industry. When Jack shows up unannounced on his sister s doorstep in rural Nova Scotia, it soon becomes clear that he is much more desperate than he chooses to reveal. His sister, OLIVIA (Kathryn MacLellan), and fifteen year-old nephew, THOMAS (Aaron Webber), haven t seen him in years. Everything about her brother s reappearance upsets Olivia s carefully constructed life, forcing the siblings to reopen wounds from the troubled past they share. Jack s eco-activist example inspires his young nephew to take action in his hometown, prompting Thomas to begin pursuing an investigation into the potential health risks caused by a local paint-manufacturing plant. The emotional and physical stakes escalate for Thomas as his uncle s influence inadvertently sets the passionate youth on his own collision course with fate. At the same time, Jack s unspoken need for human connection finds a willing match in Olivia s close friend, LIA (Lisa Ray), a single mother and kindergarten teacher at the local Waldorf School. Yet just as the two lovers begin to find peace and happiness in each other s arms, Jack s recent and illegal actions south of the border catch up with him, forcing him to look more truthfully at his past and the tragic consequences of acting blindly.
