Night Blooms tells a 1990s-era story of a young woman who begins an affair with her best friend’s father. The film centers on Carly (Jessica Clement), a 17-year-old girl from a broken home, dreams of a different life; escaping reality and her deadbeat mom through drugs and unrealistic fantasies of becoming a rock star.

Carly spends most of her time at her best friend Laura’s (Alexandra McDonald) house, whose mom prioritizes her romantic pursuits over her children’s well-being. When Laura’s young, handsome father, Wayne (Nick Stahl), re-enters her life, Carly bears witness to what a “good man” is for the first time. Wayne is recently sober, keeps a nice home and seems to care for his daughter. Developing her newly discovered sexuality, Carly sets her sights on Wayne, eventually seducing him, sending their fragile lives into a permanent spiral.

Written and directed by Stephanie Joline, Night Blooms was produced by Jason Levangie and Marc Tetreault. The cast features Nick Stahl (In The Bedroom, Sin City, Terminator 3), Jessica Clement (Letters to Satan Claus, Pure), and Alexandra McDonald (Kids vs. Aliens, Diggstown, Web of Lies).
