The Film
A Father.
A Daughter.
A War on Two Fronts.
Kevin Simmers is a cop who spent his career trying to keep drugs off the streets of Hagerstown, a city sitting square on what they call the Heroin Highway. Then his 19-year-old daughter Brooke got hooked, and everything he thought he knew got turned inside out.
What follows is a father and daughter fighting their way back to each other, and a community reckoning with an epidemic it can't arrest its way out of.
Directed by Jake Allyn. Picked up by Vertical for North American distribution after its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.
By the Numbers
More than a Movie
This film didn't just tell Hagerstown's story. It was built by the people living it. Brooke's House, a local recovery home for women, was a partner from the ground up. Graduates from the program were cast in the film. Women in recovery were trained on set and worked alongside the production crew.
Brooke's House exists because Kevin Simmers and his daughter Brooke refused to let their experience be for nothing. The organization now gives other women a real path forward: a place to heal, find work, and rebuild their lives inside the same community this film calls home.
A third of every dollar the film earns goes right back to Brooke's House. Seeing this movie is a direct investment in the women of Hagerstown.
