When it comes to screwing up their lives, some people don't know when to cry uncle.

ComedyDrama

A television producer with a penchant for drinking and gambling is sent to Las Vegas to convince his troubled niece to enter rehab.

VIBE

This film feels like a smoky, late-night dive bar. It's a weary, unflinching look at addiction and fractured family ties, laced with a dark, almost uncomfortable humor. It’s a slow, steady descent into the messy realities of trying to save someone you love.
