Gold shining in our homes on DVD on 13th October 2014

Maisie Williams (“Game of Thrones”) stars as Abbie in this offbeat comedy about father-daughter relationships and figuring out how far you’re willing to push the limits to achieve your dreams.

Driven by her ambitious step-dad coach (played by James Nesbitt, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug), Abbie dreams of making it big as a long-distance runner.  But her life takes an unexpected turn when her estranged father of 10 years, Ray (played by David Wilmot,Calvary) shows up on her doorstep wanting to re-connect with his daughter and ex-wife.

Causing chaos and upheaval with every day he stays, Ray learns that being a father again isn’t as simple as he first thought.
