Called “a stylish, sensitive coming-of-ager” by Variety and winner of the Independent Spirit Awards’ “Someone to Watch” honor for director Felix Thompson, KING JACK debuts on DVD September 13 from Well Go USA Entertainment. Set over a hazy summer weekend, the film is a tough and tender coming-of-age story about friendship and finding happiness in rough surroundings starring Charlie Plummer (“Boardwalk Empire”), Cory Nichols (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2), Christian Madsen (Divergent) and Danny Flaherty (“The Americans”). KING JACK follows a scrappy 15-year-old (Plummer) who bonds with his introverted cousin (Nichols) while facing off against a bully (Flaherty). The critically-acclaimed drama won the Audience Award for Narrative Film at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival.
Synopsis:
Jack (Charlie Plummer) is a scrappy 15-year-old kid stuck in a small, run-down town. He’s got more problems than he can handle: an escalating feud with a violent older bully, a crush on a neighborhood girl, and having to go to summer school again. So when his runty younger cousin (Cory Nichols) comes to stay for the weekend, the last thing Jack wants to do is look after him – but no one really cares what Jack wants.
KING JACK has a runtime of approximately 81 minutes and is not rated.
