Edge of Salvation is a 2012 American thriller directed by Lee Davis and starring Charlene Tilton, Jeremy London, and Kelly Washington. The movie envelops the lives of a group of people, who are all struggling in their own way to deal with their past traumas and failures. The film traces how their lives entwine when a series of events unfold, putting their lives in danger and in the process giving them a chance at redemption.

The movie revolves around Billy (Jeremy London), a former drug addict who has enlisted in the army to look for a new start. He finds himself struggling to come to terms with the experiences of the war and after serving his time, returns to his hometown in Texas, hoping to pick up the pieces of his shattered life. He starts taking care of his younger brother, Travis (Justin Benoit), and begins to rebuild his life in a trailer park community.

While struggling with his own demons, Billy happens to meet Kelly (Kelly Washington), a young woman who is disillusioned by life in the same community. Both Billy and Kelly find themselves attracted to each other, and this serves as a glimmer of hope in their otherwise bleak lives. However, things take a turn for the worse when Travis suddenly disappears along with his friend, Jacob (Max Thayer).

The mystery deepens when the pair is found in a nearby river, the victim of an apparent drowning. But Billy suspects foul play, and as he delves deeper into the investigation, he begins to uncover a web of dark secrets that threaten to unravel the fabric of the small-town community.

Adding to the complexity of the situation is the fact that Billy's own family history is not without its dark secrets. He must confront his family's past to uncover the truth behind Travis and Jacob's deaths. Meanwhile, Kelly serves as an attractive distraction for Billy, but she too is hiding secrets of her own that could destroy their newfound relationship.

Billy's mother, Betty (Charlene Tilton), is a key player in the story, and her past is revealed to be riddled with skeletons. She is the glue that holds the family together, but when her secrets are exposed, it puts their stability at risk. Her involvement in the mystery surrounding Travis and Jacob's death only makes matters worse.

The movie takes on themes of redemption and the cost of secrets. The characters are all struggling to come to terms with their own past failures and are looking for a way out. They all come from the fringes of society, people that have not had it easy. The movie's use of the small-town setting and the trailer park community serves as a microcosm of America's working-class communities, which is relatable to many.
