Synopsis

Taylor Brandon Burns, a conflicted twelve-year-old TV star from the U.S., runs away from the set – and his problems – while shooting a big-budget film in Canada. His reluctant limo-driver, Rick Schiller, a down-on-his-luck indie filmmaker, is enlisted to find Taylor before the childstar destroys himself. —IMDb

A pleasant little film on the downside of early fame, it's got more to it than one would expect - with a quirky tone that never feels contrived, believable main characters and a coupla genuinely touching moments. Underrated and well worth rediscovering
