Doug Jones (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) stars as a scary ass Candy Shop owner in this original film from Whitestone Motion Pictures in conjunction with Street Grace. The Candy Shop is a film initiative to help fight against avery real problem that is child sex trafficking.

The Candy Shop was created as a Fairytale/Parable about the child sex trafficking epidemic that has overrun the city of Atlanta (which is apparently the #1 city in the country for this problem). They are using the film to not only raise awareness but provoke meaningful action towards this issue taking place in our own backyard. Personally, I had no idea this issue was so bad in the US, but this creepy film made an impact.

Synopsis:
Jimmy Balcom’s new job selling newspapers is a God-send to a kid working hard to help his family survive during the depression. But then Jimmy figures out what’s happening in the candy shop across the street. And he is confronted with a choice that no twelve-year-old should ever have to face. Giving his family a better life, or keeping his soul.
