About the Project

In the old money neighborhood Five Points in Raleigh, North Carolina, Henry bails his sister Georgia out of jail after she’s caught with twenty-five grams of cocaine. After being estranged for five years, Georgia insists they catch up, but Henry isn’t so eager to rehash their entire lives. They later discuss their parents, their childhood, and their dependencies on drugs, and we see the effect that excess money has on these two lost kids-turned-adults. While they find solace in the familiarity of their relationship, Henry’s husband Tucker finds just the opposite. As Georgia and Tucker meet for the first time, she tries to win him over, but he is laser-focused on Henry’s wellbeing only. After a shocking ultimatum that forces Henry to reconcile his past with his future, he must determine if he can help someone plagued with the same struggles that he faces.
