The film stars Emilia Jones, best known for her breakout performance in the Oscar-winning “CODA,” and Nick Robinson of “Love, Simon” and “Voicemails for Isabelle.” Directed by Tom Dean and Mac Eldridge, from a script by Dean, the romantic drama follows the evolving relationship between Harper and Charlie as love, ambition, identity, and personal growth begin pulling them in different directions.
