WELCOME TO THE RILEYS

With James Gandolfini, Kristen Stewart, Melissa Leo, Ally Sheedy, Eisa Davis, Joe Chrest

Written by Ken Hixon
Directed by Jake Scott

The Sopranos' Gandolfini and Twilight's Stewart come together in a drama about family, loss and saving a life. Doug, a small businessman and his wife of thirty years, Lois, live past one another. This is largely attributed to the loss of their daughter, which has also turned Lois into a severe recluse.

While on a business conference trip to New Orleans, Doug ends up in a strip joint where he inadvertently befriends a young dancers. This becomes a father-daughter relationship and he decides to stay longer, attempting to sort out her life. Question remains, is he doing it to help the girl on the right track, or for himself, to have her act as a surrogate for his lost girl.

A well acted and heartfelt drama.
