Filming for the production began in December 2009 and is presented by Rebecca Wang Entertainment. It premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. Nate , a small-time jazz musician and recovering heroin addict, is clearly a hard-luck case. After a performance one night, he is mugged and bound. He awakens to find himself in a vehicle driving him out to the desert, but he is helpless to do anything... about it. His assailant then walks him into the desert, and is about to kill Nate, but the assailant is shot by a band of Indians, and Nate is left unharmed. Nate then finds a circus in the desert, and is drawn to the exotic beauty of Lily , a sideshow performer who has wings on her back. Lily is cold and dismissive, but it dawns on her that this gentle giant may well be her ticket to a better life. The sideshow owner attempts to kill Nate, but Lily rescues him by stealing a truck, and together they flee to the city.
