The film stars Dichen Lachman (“Jurassic World: Dominion,” Apple+’s “Severance,” Netflix’s “Altered Carbon”), Willa Fitzgerald (“Reacher,” Netflix’s “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “The Goldfinch”), Academy Award nominated actor Harvey Keitel, two-time Primetime Emmy Awards nominated and Golden Globe winner Ron Perlman, Kelly Hu (“The Scorpion King,” “The Tournament”), Jason London (“Dazed and Confused,” “Out Cold”), and Kenneth Choi (“9-1-1,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming”).

“Joe Baby” tells the story of a money collector for a private investigator who is hired to track down $10 million stolen in a dodgy real estate deal, opening a complex can of worms.
