McHale will play the daddy of his rebellious teenage daughter Becky (Wilson), as he takes her for a trip at a lake home in an effort to attempt to reconnect after her mom’s demise. The journey instantly takes a flip for the more severe when a bunch of convicts on the run, led by the cruel Dominick (James), immediately invade the lake home. Unfortunately for the convicts, Becky seems to be a teenage John Wick who takes issues into her personal arms.

“Becky” is being produced by Jordan Yale Levine, Jordan Beckerman and Russ Posternak of Yale Productions alongside Raphael Margules and J.D. Lifshitz of BoulderLight Pictures. UTA Independent Film Group is dealing with home gross sales.
