Thge official logline: After 8-year-old Josephine (Mason Reeves<\/a>) accidentally witnesses a crime in Golden Gate Park, she begins to act out violently to protect herself. This emotional trauma leads to conflicts between her parents (Channing Tatum<\/a> and Gemma Chan<\/a>) as they search for justice and a way to feel safe again.<\/p>\n

The trailer is short on dialogue but long on tension as the parents struggle with how their little girl is dealing with sudden emotional upheaval. But not everyone is on the little one\u2019s side. To wit, one grownup asks the third-grader, \u201cIf what you say you saw was so bad, why did you just watch from behind a tree?\u201d<\/p>\n
