Owen, a mature student recently returned home to Kentucky, works as a groundskeeper to pay his creative writing tuition fees. There he meets and falls for Alma, Writer-in-Residence and the daughter of Bosnian immigrants, who seems to have everything Owen doesn’t.

Exploring the boundaries between life and art, and how our upbringings affect the people we become, Groundskeeping is a beautifully observed love story about two people navigating their relationship, and the complications that threaten it.
