Gabriel discovers his family's legacy of loss is a lie. His father runs a dark, illegal operation built on fear and control. At its center is a devastating secret: Gabriel's mother, long presumed dead, is being held captive. Nearby, a fugitive named Donavan battles the agonizing superpower side effects of the father's experimental chemical injection.

Inspired by true experiences of grief, girlhood, and growing up, Jessie Barr’s SOPHIE JONES provides a stirring portrait of a sixteen-year-old. Stunned by the untimely death of her mother and struggling with the myriad challenges of teendom, Sophie (played with striking immediacy by the director’s cousin Jessica Barr) tries everything she can to feel something again, while holding herself together, in this sensitive, acutely realized, and utterly relatable coming-of-age story.
