Witness a transformative tale full of deep emotional truths
in PEEL, on Digital and at Redbox from Sony Pictures
Home Entertainment. Emile Hirsch stars in this quirky, coming-of-age
story about a young man’s journey to find and rebuild his broken
family and the eclectic collection of misfits he meets along
the way. This unique dramatic comedy explores how the power
of innocence can cut through the cynicism and betrayals of our
world.
SYNOPSIS
Abandoned by his father at the age of five and raised in near
isolation by a loving yet emotionally unstable and over-protective
mother, the only life Peel Munter has ever known is within the
confines of his childhood home. Upon his mama’s sudden and unexpected
death, 30-year-old Peel is left, lost and utterly alone. With
no job, family, or friends, he must make a choice; live and
die as his mother did, lonely and unsettled, or change the course
of his impending fate by breaking out into the unknown to face
the trials and tribulations of an outside world he does not
understand.
Unable to make the house payments, Peel decides to take in a
couple of drifters as roommates. After forging what seems to
be a burgeoning new family and brotherhood, one of the roommates
betrays Peel's trust compelling Peel to suddenly venture out,
in search of his long lost brothers who had been taken away
from him decades ago. Along the way, Peel's lack of cynicism
and innocence has an inadvertent, yet powerful effect on those
he meets, as he brings a group of marginalized misfits closer
to their true home.
PEEL also stars Amy Brenneman (TV’s “The Leftovers,”
“Private Practice,” “Judging Amy”), Jack Kesy (Baywatch,
TV’s “The Strain,” “Claws”), Shiloh Fernandez (Evil Dead;
The East), Yaya DaCosta (The Butler, TV’s “Chicago
Med”) and Jacob Vargas (TV’s “Luke Cage,” “Sons of Anarchy”).
Directed by Rafael Monserrate and written by Lee Karaim, PEEL

with Timothy Wayne Peternel, Phil Hunt, Compton Ross, David
Vaccari and Ray Bouderau as executive producers.
