Naturally, his sleavy boss wants to demolish the location in order to improve the neighborhood, but a rekindling with friends and family from his past forces Mick to have choose between saving the bar or his career.

Paolo Pilladi (The Winemaker’s Son) will direct the film based on a script he wrote with Greg Lingo. Rob Simmons, DJ Dodd, and Ante Novakovic will produce.

Additional cast includes Jack McGee, Jason James Richter, Royce Johnson, Chris Kerson, Lauren Francesca, Betsy Beutler, Peter Patrikios, Natasha Coppola-Shalom, and Garry Pastore.
