Marlo
Tinkham
Originally from the Plains in Athens, Ohio, plays June, Nevaeh’s Mother.
I think in playing that role, it was important to me to find empathy and sympathy for her … she’s sort of a villain, a terrible character… but it was important to me to find the side of her that is a victim herself.
Barbara
Freeman
Survivor and Advocate, founder of The Freeman Project in Columbus Ohio.
Plays herself in the film.
I remember one morning before we shot, I told the crew my story and told them instead of criticizing and being judgemental of the women they see out there, be a source of help, ask a question, 'can I help you?'
Jim
Gagne
Trucker, plays Crowbar.

And if you start peeling back the onion and you sit around and watch, you see what's going on. It doesn't take long and you question yourself, you go, is that really happening? And you know what? Eyes don't lie, your eyes don't lie to you. That's, that's a fact.
