Barracuda
Sisters. Strangers.
Directed by Jason Cortlund, Julia Halperin
Produced by Small Drama, Blue Suitcase Productions
A tense family drama about two estranged sisters whose collision threatens to destroy one life while seeking vengeance for a shared past.
Sinaloa hitchhikes into Texas to meet Merle, her half-sister by way of their dead country musician father. As the two get to know each other, Sinaloa's chaotic influence starts to unravel Merle's quiet, comfortable life. While the family music legacy brought Sinaloa to Austin, she won't leave without taking revenge against the people who stole her daddy away years ago.
