Plot

The term "lawn dog" refers to someone who mows lawns, and the main character, Trent Burns (Rockwell), is doing just that when he meets a lonely 10-year-old girl, Devon Stockard (Barton), who comes from a wealthy family, in suburban Louisville, Kentucky, that has isolated her. Trent lives in a trailer in the woods, and Devon lives in a gated community.

The pair strike up an adventurous friendship, which is later misunderstood by the townspeople, who begin to suspect that Trent is a child molester. Ironically, one of Trent's adversaries is, but Trent is not. The film is a somewhat critical view of exurban growth and the impact they may have on the original rural residents, and in one sense a fairy tale of a 'gated' America, where class hostility and suspicion are the true fuel for violence.
