Academy Award Winner Mel Gibson (Braveheart), Garret Hedlund (TRON: Legacy), and Willa Fitzgerald (Scream: The TV Series) star in a modern noir thriller based on the acclaimed novel by Michael Farris Smith about two lost souls tortured by the mistakes of their past and bound by a secret that keeps them running.
Hedlund was most recently seen in the ace Paramount+ series Tulsa King, while Mel Gibson is among the cast of the incoming ‘Continental’, the John Wick TV spin-off.
