The film follows Allison (Pugh), a young woman whose world falls apart when she survives an unimaginable tragedy, whilst in recovery for an opioid addiction and unresolved grief.

She forms an unlikely friendship with her would-be father-in-law, Daniel (Freeman) that gives her a fighting chance to put her life back together and move forward.

A Good Person is produced by both Braff and Pugh, as well as Killer Films and Elevation Films.

“Here she is. First trailer to ‘A Good Person is FINALLY HERE,” she wrote.

“This is the first time I’ve had the pleasure and the privilege of watching how the art is made from the very beginning to the very end.

“I am so proud of this creation, I’m so grateful to all those who jumped on board this crazy journey with us.”

Braff also shared the trailer on his own social media.

The film is scheduled for release in UK cinemas in March 2023 ahead of launching on Sky Cinema in April 2023.
