The film stars Izabel Pakzad, Dakota Lotus, Chris Bauer and Virginia Gardner, and is based around a young musician from Palo Alto who spirals into drug addiction in San Francisco. Her devoted younger brother risks everything to find her, and the film follows him as he ventures into San Francisco’s darkest corners, discovering that some people don’t want to be saved and that love isn’t always enough to bring them home. She stars alongside Dakota Lotus ( Coop & Cami Ask the World), who plays her brother Ovid, Chris Bauer ( The Wire, True Blood), Virginia Gardner ( Fall, Halloween), Will Peltz ( Euphoria), Malia Baker ( Descendants: The Rise of Red), Duke Nicholson ( Us), Brian Marc ( White Girl), Jamal Trulove ( The Last Black Man in San Francisco) and Lorraine Farris ( Natural Born Killers).
