Kate Bohan (From Embers) is writer-director on the indie feature, which wrapped filming in August, and heralds from Lyon Park Productions.

The synopsis reads: “When a teenage girl, Dakota, (Kayla Bohan) is kidnapped by a human trafficking syndicate, escaping is only half the fight; the rest is grappling with a devastating father betrayal and finding the strength to save herself.”

But ultimately, this is a story about finding the courage to move forward and decide who you will become.”

The film is produced by Lyon Park Productions alongside Kate Bohan and Kathleen I-Ying Lee (From Embers). The film’s ensemble was assembled by casting directors Sig De Miguel and Stephen Vincent (Clifford The Big Red Dog).
