Madison Bailey will star in SoCal, a ’90s noir written and directed by Cameron Van Hoy.
According to Deadline, SoCal is set in San Diego in the summer of 1999, following Ramona (Bailey), a clever and resourceful high school pot dealer hired by the school’s star quarterback to find his missing girlfriend, Ashley Walker. As Ramona digs deeper, she uncovers secrets beneath the picture-perfect suburban surface. What begins as a missing-person investigation soon becomes a romantic web of mystery, lust and murder.
“SoCal is inspired by the reckless abandon of youth, San Diego at the turn of the millennium and noir cinema,” said Van Hoy. “It’s a film about the beauty and the danger of being young, a sun-soaked neo-noir where first love, desire and high school collide.”
Bailey is best known for starring in Netflix’s hit teen drama series Outer Banks as Kie Carrera. Her other screen credits include Black Lightning, American Horror Stories, Time Cut, and Maintenance Required.
