Director, Jon Russell Cring, with his wife, Tracy Cring have made eighteen films together. The duo teamed up with Troy, NY screenwriter Joshua Owens, to collaborate on writing a classic anti-hero tale. Homeless drifter, Heyseus, tries to reconnect an out of touch town through odd philosophies and unconventional deeds. He finds a lonely old man, a curious teenager, a homeless family, a fragile waitress and a listless drunk; and promises to make their lives better in just seven days.

The film stars H.B. Studios trained, New York City Actor, Raymond Turturro. Christin Roman, Kenneth McGregor, and Theodore Bouloukos, all New York City Actors formed a fierce ensemble. Manhattan based Director of Photography Nathaniel Kramer shot the movie on RED Epic cameras with vintage lenses to give it a vintage milk glass feel.
