“After being blamed for the death of his best friend in a racist street fight, Tez (Rahel Romahn), a 25-year-old drug dealer with cultural identity issues, loses custody of his son that he has never met. Battling a drug addiction and coming to terms with losing his best friend, he will need to find a way to battle his inner demons and reclaim his life before he loses his son forever.
The film’s talented cast, including renowned actors such as Rahel Romahn, Simon Elrahi, Elliott Giarola, Veronica Cloherty and breakthrough stars, delivered captivating performances that brought the characters to life with remarkable authenticity.
