When a contractor (Cranston) recruits her for a secretive government operation to assassinate a high-ranking politician, she quickly realizes it is a set-up. Now, she must outwit shadowy agents to protect her young son from ruthless operatives.

Vachon praised the casting as a perfect match, stating, “We couldn’t ask for a better cast than Lily and Bryan. They are each so deeply committed to the roles. Each said ‘yes!’ days after we submitted.” With this dynamic duo in the lead, the film is poised to deliver a gripping portrayal of complex characters facing high-stakes challenges.

Jordan Yale Levine and Jordan Beckerman of Yale Productions are also backing the film, which is targeting top 2025 fall festivals for its debut.
