A Syrian girl escaping war is given a book of poetry by Rumi. The book becomes a magical gateway where she meets Rumi when he was a boy fleeing the violence of his time and must help him write the poem that 800 years later will save her life.

LAST CHANCE CHARLENE tells the story of Charlene, a writer/actress trying to put her life back together after losing her brother, Dominick, to suicide. It’s been 9 months now since Dominick’s death and Charlene still hasn’t been able to fully process this loss. Neither Charlene, Ayla, her pregnant sister-in-law, or mother Lorenna could have seen this tragedy coming. Charlene’s life feels completely wrecked as she attempts to salvage her fledgling acting and screenwriting career. But she has to face her grief, which has resulted in marital problems. Charlene’s husband, Raul, has moved him and their two young kids to live with his sister to allow Charlene the time and space to grieve. How is Charlene supposed to grieve when she’s also fulfilling her obligation to carry on her brother’s design business, care for her aging mother, Lorenna, and reconcile with Ayla, who she’s been avoiding? No big deal. She’s fine, (Lies. All lies. She’s the farthest thing from being fine). Grief is one thing that can’t be avoided for long.
