Overview

Gabriel Kahane's deeply personal feature debut chronicles a lawbreaking teenager forced to work at a wig shop for cancer patients owned by the warm-hearted Susan, where he befriends a guarded woman who irreversibly alters the course of his life. It's a film that gives an honest peek into the often bleak (albeit exceedingly human) Upstate existence of Benji, his drug addicted, alcoholic mother, absentee father, and the others in his orbit.
