Synopsis
An Indie Next Pick
Just as opposites attract, they can also cause friction, and no one feels that more than Rex and Rosie's daughter, Willow. Rex is serious and unsentimental. Rosie is sparkling and enchanting. When they divorce, Willow must navigate two different worlds. She is clearly under the spell of her exciting, fun-loving mother. But as Rosie's behavior becomes more turbulent, the darker underpinnings of her love are revealed.
