In CASEY MAKES A MIXTAPE, music-obsessed, mature-for-her-age 13-year-old Casey (Presley Richardson) is shipped off to live with her grandparents (Jennifer Griffin and Brad Leland) for the summer. Her unreliable mom (Arianne Martin) has flown off to Paris with yet another new boyfriend, while her dad is in prison for robbery. Casey is none too happy about the move, but she quickly makes new friends, neighborhood kids Craig (Julian Hilliard) and Carrie (Kennedy Celeste). She remains obsessed all summer with trying to finalize her latest mixtape.
