Writer/Director Andrew Adams will join us for a live, in-person Q&A following the Wednesday, October 2 screening.

Olivia (Jacki Von Preysing) is a desperate millennial at the end of her rope. She’s been put on a temporary leave, she’s recently single, her home has been broken into, and she’s drowning in debt, struggling to make rent. Then she meets Mari (Nicolette Sweeney), a happy-go-lucky, fiery pickpocket who lives in a van and shirks every societal expectation she can.

Traumatized by the break-in and sick of being alone in her house, Olivia invites Mari back as a defacto bodyguard, beginning an offbeat friendship that pulls Olivia deeper and deeper into a life of crime. Will these women team up to execute an ambitious criminal scheme… or is Olivia being conned?

Andrew Adams’ micro-budget debut feature features a sharp script, excellent performances, a jazzy score, and a great mix of societal-subversive ideas to make you both laugh and contemplate if the characters may have a good point…
