“Sterling Point” follows 17-year-old Annie (Rubin) who lives a comfortable, New York life with her twin brother, Connor (Keen Ruffalo), and their single, adoptive father (Jay Duplass). However, everything changes overnight when they discover their estranged grandfather has died and left them a bizarre inheritance: a secluded island on a Canadian lake.
Trading the skyscrapers of New York City for the wilderness of Canada, Annie and Connor visit the island. What starts as a curious road trip quickly evolves into a heartfelt ensemble drama packed with messy family dynamics, grief, and more.
