Roses on the Vine

During a hot Los Angeles summer, a working-class single father with a checkered past, and his mischievous seven year old daughter navigate their way through the chaos of their lives, facing an emotional battle to stay together against overwhelming odds.

Synopsis

Trying his best to provide for his young daughter in the harsh urban landscape of L.A., single father, Billy, attempts to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and love, doing whatever it takes to scrape by. Crisscrossing the city via scooter each day and barely making ends meet as a delivery driver, Billy is driven to drastic measures as the debt mounts up, resorting to illegal activities which could end with devastating consequences for them both.

 

Desperate to put his life on a better path, and fighting against the odds to redeem himself, Billy finds himself stuck in a race against time to escape his past, before the one precious thing in his life, his child, Hazel, is lost to the foster system forever.

 

Starring Cameron Cowperthwaite (American Horror Story, Shameless, Fallout), Madeline Sinclair, and Tonatiuh (Kiss of the Spider Woman, Promised Land),  and shot by Emmy-nominated cinematographer Jonathan Pope, this emotionally driven drama, inspired by real life experiences, offers a fresh, authentic perspective on parenthood and the powerful bond between a father and his child.
