It will look at both the law enforcement and addiction perspectives, highlighting the relationship between a father and his daughter. Filming is scheduled to begin in April and May.

He aims to depict both sides of the issue authentically. Braff, known for his role in "Scrubs," will also be an executive producer on the movie, alongside several others.
