Knee Deep
Human Interest - 1x52 or 1x81

Beyond the familiar coast of Maine, known for peaceful summer vacations, lobster and outdoor activities is a very different Maine.  Matricide gets a modern twist in this bittersweet story of a Josh Osborne, a boy who devotes his whole life to his family's farm, only to have his mother take away the only world he's ever known.  It is a landscape of fields, farms, work and dirt, and it is where KNEE DEEP takes place.  He has a limited education, a conniving girlfriend, a sympathetic but determined district attorney and a group of friends and family, all of whom seem a bit too willing to help him with his simple plan:  kill Mom and keep the farm.  Shot over a period of two years, KNEE DEEP is a real documentary, and its characters are real people proving that truth is, indeed, often stranger than fiction.
