Asking For It
After small town waitress Joey (Kiersey Clemons) is sexually assaulted after a date with her old friend Mike (Casey Cott), she befriends mysterious stranger Regina (Alexandra Shipp).

All suffering from past traumas, together they fight a misogynistic society by targeting violent frat boys, a corrupt police force of human traffickers led by Sheriff Morel (David Patrick Kelly), and the dangerous alt-right group MFM (Men’s First Movement) headed by Mark Vanderhill (Ezra Miller). As Joey is drawn further into their chaotic world, Sal’s old flame, Logan County Sheriff Vernon (Luke Hemsworth), investigates MFM, leading to a thrilling showdown. The film will mark Eamon O’Rourke’s directorial debut and is produced by Kiersey Clemons, Lee Broda, Ezra Miller, Luke Daniels with Kevin Beer, Savoy Brummer, Lisa Yaro, Sol Guy, and Seema Thakker executive producing.
