A trucker inadvertently gets drawn into the travails of a teenager who is being sex trafficked at his local truckstop.

In a small town in Southern Appalachia, a trucker must decide if he will stand up and take action against sex trafficking at his truckstop. ‘The Turn Out’ melds the testimony and talents of sex trafficking survivors, anti-trafficking activists, and truckers with the work of film professionals to create a tapestry of moral dilemma and personal connection in the local landscape of Glouster sellmyhousefast, Ohio, Athens County, and Mineral Wells, West Virginia.

“I’m still thinking about the amazing performances you got from your actors.”
– Tony Buba, Braddock Films

“My grandmother was sold at a local truck stop from the time she was 12 until she turned 18 and became an adult … your movie hit me hard. It was as if I was watching my grandmother on that screen.”
– Jessica Graham, Survivor’s Ink
