In the film, Brandon is a hot-tempered high school senior living a rough life. Between struggling in school, caring for his two younger siblings and having just been let go from his job, he often uses his art as an escape from the confines of his subdued day-to-day life. Enter Cassidy, a bedazzled bad girl dripping in confidence, freedom and danger. After Brandon is robbed at gunpoint (by Cassidy) and lured in by her whimsy, Brandon teams up with Cassidy, seamlessly slipping into the role of Clyde to her Bonnie as they make their way down an increasingly perilous path.

YOUNG. WILD. FREE. stars Algee Smith ( The New Edition Story, Detroit, Euphoria ) as Brandon Huffman, Sierra Capri ( On My Block, American Skin ) as Cassidy, Sanaa Lathan ( The Best Man, Love & Basketball, Brown Sugar ) as Janice Huffman and Mike Epps ( Next Friday, Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, The Upshaws ) as Lamont.
