"Directing this talented cast, especially the gifted and respected Tamara Taylor, is a dream come true for me. Tamara's range and versatility is unmatched. Although this film is wrapped in a commercially driven psychological thriller, the storyline examines the importance of compassion and perseverance in supporting those facing mental health challenges—a message embodied by Tamara's character," said Coates.
Joining Taylor in the cast are Isaac Keys (Power Book IV: Force), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight, Expendables), Judae'a (The Chi, Chicago Med), Elizabeth Caponigro (Ageless Love), Kris D. Lofton (Power Book IV: Force), Christopher Mann (Loving, House of Cards), and newcomer Brandon J. Miller. Casting was led by Leslie M. Greene, C.S.A.
The film follows Bobby, a young man with mental challenges who has spent eight years in a behavioral healthcare facility after witnessing his father’s murder, a crime allegedly committed by his mother, Carol Anne. Traumatized into silence, Bobby becomes the personal mission of Dr. Sheri Jackson (played by Taylor), the facility’s lead psychiatrist, who strives to break through to him. As Bobby reunites with his family, long-buried secrets resurface, setting off a chain of events that blur the line between love and destruction. The screenplay was written by JE Tyler and Donald Edwards.
"I knew I was in a few pages into the script. I found the journey of this character intriguing, and the arc of the story unexpected and compelling. Can't wait to dive in!" said Tamara Taylor.
Filming is scheduled to begin in Pennsylvania in January 2025, with distribution by Urban Home Entertainment.
