Filmmaker Robb Moss has filmed his close friends for over forty years. The Bend in the River is the third installment in an accidental trilogy of films begun in 1978. It is an exploration of life and love, choice and chance, youth and age.

A gothic mystery unfolds in the atmospheric setting of 1880s Scotland.

A look at a seemingly placid New England town that is actually wrought with illicit affairs, crime and tragedy, all told through the lens of Olive, whose wicked wit and harsh demeanor mask a warm but troubled heart and staunch moral center. The story spans 25 years and focuses on Olive's relationships with her husband, Henry, the good-hearted and kindly town pharmacist; their son, Christopher, who resents his mother's approach to parenting; and other members of their community.
