Based on a true story about escaped convict Jeffrey Manchester who lived on the loading dock of a Toys R Us and attended Crossroads Presbyterian in Charlotte, NC. Jeffrey (Channing Tatum) was a regular at the church and befriended Crossroads parishioners and minister Ron Smith (Ben Mendelsohn). Little did anyone know Jeffrey was on the lam. Roofman portrays this wild, true tale.
Reunited Ben Mendelsohn, Emory Cohen, and Derek Cianfrance after all three worked together on Place Beyond the Pines (2012). Although, Mendelsohn and Cohen shared no scenes together in that film.
