Lily Mae Harrington (“Some Freaks”), Michael Mosley (“Seven Seconds”), Jon Foster (“Like Father”), Joshua Mikel (“The Walking Dead”), Keith Machekanyanga (“Timeless”) and Spencer Howell have also been cast.

The story is set in small town Central Florida where beauty pageants, gun culture, Cuban revolutionaries and Southern hospitality co-exist and collide. Harrington plays Macy Dunleavy, a high school drop out, and Dickens will play her mother, a former beauty queen.
