Beautiful young Daisy feels stuck working as a shopgirl by day and caring for her ailing mother by night. A suicide gone wrong leaves Daisy wrongly imprisoned, while the neighbor whose testimony put her away struggles with guilt. A tongue-in-cheek homage to 1950s women-in-prison films.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mink Stole's casting is deliberate: she's a John Waters regular, grounding the film in genuine underground cinema lineage.
Balderson shot this in Kansas using local crew and his mother's house, making the 'stuck in suburbia' theme literally autobiographical.
