Southport is the story of Todd Field, who as a young man leaves his home on a tobacco farm for the love of the North Carolina coast. He leaves behind a family cycle of alcohol, violence, and abuse. Set on Bald Head Island and along the historic Southport waterfront area during the 1970s and 1980s, the story tells of Todd’s journey through loss, betrayal, and pain to redemption and second chances.
