Josie (film)

Josie (also known as Huntsville) is a 2018 American thriller drama film directed by Eric England and written by Anthony Ragnone II.

The film stars Sophie Turner as the titular character, a mysterious high school student who transfers to the Southern town of Baymont, where she draws the attention of local recluse Hank (Dylan McDermott).

The film also stars Jack Kilmer, Micah Fitzgerald, Lombardo Boyar, Daeg Faerch, Robin Bartlett, and Kurt Fuller.

One day a pretty teenage girl named Josie asks for help moving into the motel.

Hank is friends with Josie, but because of the age difference, neighbor Martha criticizes his relationship.

Years later, one of the inmates was found innocent, and this haunted him to the point where he had to quit his job and move elsewhere.
