Summaries

Three overlapping stories of estranged families in three regions of North Carolina.

"Loggerheads" interweaves three separate but related stories that take place in different parts of North Carolina. On Mother's Day 1999, Mark, a young drifter with an interest in endangered loggerhead turtles, begins a relationship with motel handyman George. On Mother's Day 2000, Mark's adoptive mother Elizabeth wonders what has become of her estranged son. On Mother's Day 2001, Mark's birth mother Grace quits her job to begin a search for the child she gave up years before-a search that ultimately brings the stories together.—Eric Sorensen

Synopsis

Three stories that intertwine, though they take place in different time periods - one in 1999, one in 2000, and the last in 2001. The first involves an HIV-positive young man living on the beach; the second, an unhappy woman trying to find the child she gave up for adoption; and the last, a Christian couple trying to come to grips with an unfortunate family situation.
