The romantic comedy sees Nicholas Downs (Pearl Harbor, Constantine, Cold Case) who plays Bobby, the town’s young Deputy, overextending his authority to get all sorts of attention, particularly from his own mother; Louise, played by Theresa Russell (Black Widow, Spiderman III).
The star of the film, Hallee Hirsh (Grey’s Anatomy, E.R., 90210) is Kate, a rural American teen, who is turning 16 and has never been kissed. She works for Louise, the owner of the Float-On-Inn ice cream stand. All the while Kate and her best friend Darby played by Mandy Musgrave (South of Nowhere) race with time before the clock strikes midnight and will discover more about love than most 16 year-olds can imagine.
