James Rowe’s latest film, Breakwater, spotlights Dovey (Darren Mann), a young man who takes on the whole world to deliver on the promise he made to his cellmate. Dovey met Ray Childress (Dermot Mulroney) when he was sent to prison for an unknown crime. Childress had a daughter but never knew where she was based until he found newspaper clippings that told him his daughter, Marina, was in Outer Bank. Childress asked Dovey to go to Currituck and find his daughter. Dovey had no intention to disappoint Childress, as he was among the few people who treated him nicely when he was serving his jail sentence. Also, it was Childress who taught him how to survive and fend for himself in jail. So, it’s the least he could do, implied Childress.

Dermot Mulroney is set to star in the upcoming indie thriller “Breakwater.”
The veteran actor, of “My Best Friend’s Wedding” and “August: Osage County” fame, will team with writer-director James Rowe on the feature.
“Breakwater” will see Mulroney star as prison inmate Ray Childress, who charges a just-released fellow prisoner with finding his daughter. The ex-con soon discovers the daughter’s past may be more dangerous than anything he’s faced in prison.
“Dangerous charmers are a fixture in Southern stories,” Rowe said in a statement, “and Ray is a man whose surface cool masks a desperate volatility. Dermot’s appeal and his expansive range, along with his willingness to defy expectations, make him the ideal choice for this guy driven by conflicting impulses.”
Loose Cannon Pictures is producing the project, led by Matt Paul (the SXSW selection “Violet”). Larry Hummel and Edward Winters of Winterstone Pictures will also produce.
