Writer/director Trey Nelson has an interesting resume, coming to “Lost in the Sun” after a decade working in television, helping to craft cooking, game, and reality shows. He makes a dramatic leap with his latest work, and he’s also questing for sincerity. “Lost in the Sun” has its faults, but it primarily plays like an engrossing young adult novel, exploring the weight of guilt and the development of trust, with a whole mess of father-figure issues driving the central conflict.
