Evocative and provocative, this contemporary coming-of-age drama revolves around Charlie Mills, a troubled, troublesome youngster from a privileged background.
He has just turned 18 and is running away from a drug detox centre, and not for the first time. Returning home, he is shocked to learn that his father, a former film star currently running for Governor of California, has staged an intervention, with the goal of making Charlie address and, hopefully, conquer, his substance abuse issues far from the harsh glare of the media.
Reluctantly, Charlie enters a new adult facility where he meets a kindred spirit, Eva, and their budding romance looks like it might be an antidote to his strained relationship with a highly preoccupied father and overly indulgent mother. Will these two youngsters help each other or drag each other down into further trouble?
