The King of Marvin Gardens
Drama
Jason Staebler lives on the Boardwalk and fronts for the local mob in Atlantic City. He is a dreamer who asks his brother David, a radio personality from Philadelphia, to help him build a paradise on a Pacific Island, which might be just another of his pie-in-the-sky schemes. Inevitably, complications begin to pile up.
VIBE
A hazy, melancholic descent into the desperate dreams of two brothers. It feels like a humid, late-night gamble on the boardwalk, where every win feels like a loss and every scheme unravels into regret.
