Synopsis: Manningtree New Jersey is a little town on the brink of extinction.

The 19th century storefronts of charming Old Town are being threatened with eminent domain by local officials and international developer, North Sea Assets.  Their plan—raze Old Town to make way for a garish mall/luxury condo complex.

There’s one obstacle however—the fiery Scottish-born local hairdresser, Lizzie Munro (Corinna May) whose salon lies in the direct path of the wrecking ball.

Facing off with an unscrupulous mayor (Vincent Pastore, The Sopranos), a smarmy Director of Planning (Peter McRobbie, Brokeback Mountain) and North Sea’s point man (Lawton Paseka) in the guise of a silver-tongued Romeo—can Lizzie evoke the spirit of her fellow countryman William Wallace, rout the invaders and stand her ground?  Can she ward off the march of progress? Will she lose her chance at true love?

Directed by two-time Emmy award winner Dorothy Lyman (Director, TV’s The Nanny), Split Ends is a charming, uplifting Frank Capra style film that embodies the tenacity of the human spirit and will of the people!
