Based on author Joyce Maynard's book--the action is set on a late summer Labor Day holiday weekend in the 1980s, the story follows a divorced, depressed single mom (Kate Winslet) out shopping with her 13-year-old son Henry (Griffith) when they encounter a large, fearsome and bleeding man named Frank (Josh Brolin). He asks for a ride and against their better judgment they agree, later learning the police are searching their town for an escaped convict.
Van Der Beek will play a police officer investigating a missing person’s case. Fleming plays the object of Griffith's affection and a girl with much more awareness of the way the world works than he has.
Tom Lipinski and Maika Monroe also star.
Jason Reitman will direct using his adapted script, and will co-produce the film with Helen Estabrook Lianne Halfon and Russell Smith.
Production begins in June
