According to its tagline on IMDb, Straw follows a “single mother [who] navigates a series of unfortunate events, leading her down an unforeseen path where she becomes embroiled in a situation she never envisioned, finding herself at the center of suspicion in an indifferent world.”

"I know it's been really difficult for him," Perry adds of Sinbad's recovery after suffering an ischemic stroke in 2020.
