The story follows TJ, played by Finn Haney (Where the Devil Roams), a young man whose life takes an unexpected turn on his 18th birthday when he receives a surprise gift from his estranged father, an ex-con and former rock star whom he hasn't seen since childhood. The gift, a vintage 1968 convertible, comes with one condition: if TJ wants to reconnect, he must drive the car 3,000 miles across the country to find his father. Unsure if the journey will bring answers or more heartache, TJ sets out with his best friend Jake (William Chris Sumpter, The Midnight Club) on what quickly becomes an unforgettable adventure.
As they navigate the highs and lows of the open road, TJ and Jake encounter a host of memorable characters, portrayed by a stellar cast that includes Paul Guilfoyle (L.A. Confidential, Don't Look Up) and Ross Partridge (Stranger Things, Lamb). With each mile, TJ faces challenges and unexpected moments of growth, slowly realizing that the road to self-discovery often brings its own twists and turns.
What We Find On The Road is a film full of humour, warmth, and depth, inviting viewers to join TJ on his quest for connection, identity, and a place to belong. Beacham's thoughtful direction and Haney's nuanced performance promise a story that celebrates the importance of family, friendship, and the courage to seek one's own path.
