Characters

Eli Eli (Myles Truitt) is a 14-year-old, curious outsider adopted by a working class family. He lives alone with his dad until his brother, Jimmy, is released from prison and comes to stay with them. Eli is cautious but eager to trust his older brother when Jimmy suggests they go on a road trip across the country to their uncle’s cabin in Lake Tahoe.

Jimmy Jimmy (Jack Reynor) is a recently released ex-con who has a strained relationship with his dad and barely knows his adopted younger brother, Eli. Once out of prison, Jimmy falls back into old habits and his involvement with a seedy criminal puts his whole family at risk. However, Jimmy will do anything to keep his brother safe and takes him on a cross-country road trip in order to protect him.

Taylor Taylor (James Franco) is small-time crime lord who has unfinished business with Jimmy. When Jimmy is released from prison, Taylor looks to collect on old debts and threatens Jimmy’s family in order to get him to pay up.

Milly Milly (Zoë Kravitz) meets Jimmy and Eli in a bar while they’re on the run from Taylor, and quickly bonds with Eli. She recognizes that the brothers may be her ticket out of her current situation so she joins their road trip
