Newport Beach Film Festival 2008

Still reeling from the death of her father, a young girl spends one last summer at the Jersey Shore before heading off to college. But when her plans fall apart, the girl stumbles into a mysterious world of Russian sailors, high-stakes gambling, and unexpected love. An ensemble cast brings these vivid characters to life, including Paul Sorvino, David Fumero, Jay O. Sanders, and Kim Shaw in a debut performance. It's a love letter in the sand, a tribute to the Jersey Shore, and a postcard from summers past.
