Anchorage

Jacob (Scott Monahan) and John (Dakota Loesch) are two low-level Florida drug hustlers with a busted Crown Victoria and a dream. Their plan is to drive their trunk full of stolen opioids stuffed inside Teddy Bears towards Anchorage, Alaska to cash-in big in the Land of Gold. That plan gets challenged by their surroundings, their shortcomings, and their tendency to dip into their own supply. Both Jacob and John are dealing with the loss of their mother after her long battle with sickness. Their mother was the last bit of family they had left. Now the only thing holding their family together is themselves. We pick up with the brothers halfway through their road-trip in the High Desert of California. Jacob has an uneasy feeling about the trip and their destination that he can’t seem to shake, while John wholeheartedly believes in their dream of making a million dollars, no matter what the cost. The boys drive from an abandoned Air Force Base to a remote ghost town, from a once-was baseball field to a boarded-up mining site, from one dying decrepit structure to another in the middle of nowhere. The closer they get to their destination the further they are driven apart from each other. A split-second act of violence somewhere along their voyage through the desert derails their trip and sets the brothers on a crash course with tragedy. “Anchorage” is a journey to the heart of a family, the heart of addiction, and the heart of the American Dream...or whatever is left of it.
