After running into roadblocks with government agencies, she discovers a clandestine community of journalists, philanthropists and advocates who might be able to help her.
The movie, which will premiere at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival, also stars Matt Bomer, Lola Kirke and Edie Falco. Keshavarz co-wrote the feature with Jonathan Mastro. Anna Gerb, Neal Dodson, and J.C. Chandor produced.
Roadside will release Viper Club in theaters Oct. 26. The movie will then hit YouTube Premium in 2019.
Howard Cohen negotiated the deal to acquire the film for Roadside Attractions.
