Warning: Spoilers
Watching this movie will be a waste of time for just about everyone except those who hope to make an Indie movie too, like me. Lots to learn here, including:

If a story can be told in an hour or so, don't pad it to 100 minutes, because any originality in the plot will be buried in tedium and underappreciated by those viewers who stick with it to the end.

Make at least one of the protagonists someone an audience will care about. In Shade Shepherd neither of the main characters comes close to qualifying. One of them leaves his wife just as she's about to have a baby, without even telling her why. Turns out he's helping his brother, who has drug-related issues. This includes vomiting a lot, screaming, looking wild-eyed, drooling, etc. Hard to get behind either of those characters.

Indie productions always have budget restraints, but extended bouts of profanity do not compensate for boring scenes.

One star is for a twist at the end, and one star for the effort both leading actors put into their roles.
