Synopsis:
Golden Globe® winner James Gandolfini (TV’s “The Sopranos”) is Doug Riley, a man at the crossroads. Ever since the tragic death of his teenage daughter, he’s led a life of quiet desperation … and now, something has to give. On a business trip to New Orleans, he encounters Mallory (Kristen Stewart, the Twilight films) — a raw, angry runaway living a dangerous life as a stripper. Moved by emotions he barely understands, Doug abandons his old life to save hers. The tenuous balance is threatened when his wife Lois (Academy Award® nominee Melissa Leo, Best Actress, Frozen River, 2008) shakes off the fears that have kept her homebound for years. Now three lost souls seek hope and forgiveness in each other … and together, they discover a rare gift of connection that feels like family.
