Jason Austin Wiles is an American actor, writer, and director who grew up in Lenexa, Kansas, far removed from the film industry. After high school, he worked briefly for the local Parks and Recreation department and passed on an opportunity to play college football, eventually finding his way onto film sets in Kansas City in the early 1990s. Early behind-the-scenes work on Mr. and Mrs. Bridge (1990) and the Stephen King adaptation Sometimes They Come Back (1991) sparked his interest in acting and led him to relocate to Los Angeles to pursue it professionally. Wiles built his career through commercials, independent films, and recurring television roles before gaining wider recognition as NYPD officer Maurice “Bosco” Boscorelli on Third Watch (1999–2005), appearing in all six seasons. Since then, he has remained a steady presence on television and in film, with roles in Commander in Chief (2005–2006), Army Wives (2007), Zodiac (2007), The Stepfather (2009), Persons Unknown (2010), Criminal Minds (2006, 2010), Law & Order: SVU (2010), Scream (2015–2016), and The Rookie (2024), while also writing and directing independent projects including Lenexa, 1 Mile (2006) and Play Dead (2009).

Quinn Maybrook and her father have moved to tiny, boring Kettle Springs, to find a fresh start. But what they don't know is that ever since the Baypen Corn Syrup Factory shut down, Kettle Springs has cracked in half. On one side are the adults, who are desperate to make Kettle Springs great again, and on the other are the kids, who want to have fun, make prank videos, and get out of Kettle Springs as quick as they can. Kettle Springs is caught in a battle between old and new, tradition and progress. It's a fight that looks like it will destroy the town. Until Frendo, the Baypen mascot, a creepy clown in a pork-pie hat, goes homicidal and decides that the only way for Kettle Springs to grow back is to cull the rotten crop of kids who live there now.
