Cherish (R)

Quicklook Rating

synopsis

A comedic thriller involving lost characters who are twisted out of proportion by romantic obsession. Shy San Franciscan Zoe is a twenty-something love-starved animator who spends countless hours listening to KXCH "Cherish" radio, losing herself in a syrupy romantic fantasy of 1970s and 80s pop songs. After a mysterious car accident, in which a policeman is hit and killed, the assailant flees the scene and Zoe is unfairly left facing a vehicular homicide charge. While awaiting trial, Zoe is incarcerated in the electronic bracelet program where she is constantly monitored and confined to her squalid inner-city apartment; she repeatedly tries to escape her confinement. Each attempt at fleeing brings another visit from her parole officer Daly. Ironically, this relationship allows both of them to grow as they fall in love. Zoe sheds her rose colored glasses and becomes her own superhero after she discovers the real cause of the accident. Jones.
