Drowning his sorrows in a seedy LA whisky bar, Harper ends up drinking with Johnny Ray (Cohen), a tough redneck who offers to “take care” of Vincent for a cool $20,000. Powley will play Ray’s beautiful but distant girlfriend.
Producers are Julie Baines and Jason Newmark with financing from Head Gear Films with Phil Hunt and Compton Ross also taking producer roles. Bankside handles sales.
