As previously announced, Faye Dunaway, Harvey Keitel and Andrew McCarthy will also star. Currently shooting in Vancouver, the film’s logline is as follows: It takes a minute to find a special person and an entire lifetime to forget them. While healing at a rehabilitation center after a rescue mission gone wrong, a firefighter Sam Ellis (Routh) connects with Tilly, a stranger from the past.
