Outcasts in life. Allies in suburbia.

DramaComedy

Punk-rocker turned suburban mom, Kelly, is nostalgic for a life she can no longer have and uncertain of a future she doesn’t yet fit in. Seventeen-year-old Cal is frustrated at his lack of control over the hand he's been dealt. When the two strike up an unlikely friendship, it's the perfect spark needed to thrust them both back to life.

VIBE

A quiet, character-driven indie that feels like a warm, slightly worn mixtape. It’s about finding connection and sparks of life in unexpected places, with a gentle, observational tone.
