She Rides Shotgun
All a father needs is a fighting chance.
Directed by Nick Rowland
Produced by Fifth Season, Makeready
A tense, character-driven thriller about a father and estranged daughter bonding through survival and danger, grounded in emotional stakes rather than spectacle.
Newly released from prison and marked for death by unrelenting enemies, Nate must now protect his estranged 11-year-old daughter, Polly, at all costs. With scant resources and no one to trust, Nate and Polly forge a bond under fire as he shows her how to fight and survive—and she teaches him the true meaning of unconditional love.
