The Cat and the Moon

synopsis

While his mother is in rehab, Nick (Alex Wolff) comes to New York City to stay with Cal (Mike Epps), a jazz musician friend of his late father's, and the only person who can take care of him. During his stay he makes friends with a group of troubled but ultimately good-hearted kids who show him what the city has to offer. The film is a character study of Nick, who is forced to reconcile with his buried pain and vulnerabilities as they bubble up to the surface during his time away from home.
