Will Poulter and Noah Centineo deliver pitch-perfect performances as brothers Cody and Jack Parsons, each navigating a court-mandated drug rehabilitation program in a pocket of rural Ohio hit hard by the opioid epidemic. Provided with hope for the first time since their struggles began and with the support of a tireless counselor (Annette Deao), the brothers work toward a brighter, sober future.
Poulter and Centineo blend seamlessly with a supporting cast composed predominantly of non-professional actors as they share their actual experiences, pain, and optimism as they, themselves, navigate the program. Ohio-born filmmaker Adam Meeks creates a film imbued with realism for an honest, compassionate portrait of a battle being fought across America and the solidarity that flowers on its front lines.

"Downbeat without being depressing — the program’s participants are almost shockingly cheerful company — 'Union County' is a compassionate portrait of a Sisyphean endeavor."
— Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
"Union County is mostly a heartening look at a public system that is in place to help people, at the individuals who make it work, and at those who, through it, find something like healing."
— Zachary Barnes, Wall Street Journal
"At every turn, the film earns every emotional, lived-in development, instilling this slice-of-life portrait with such a quiet humanity that it can feel like you’re sitting at the tables and in the meeting rooms along with all the characters."
— Chase Hutchinson, TheWrap
