Evan Ross will star opposite Cuba Gooding Jr. in Kevin Bray's Mexican border-patrol drama "Linewatch."

Ross, recently cast in Tony Kaye's drama "Black Water Transit," will play Little Boy, the nephew of border-patrol agent and one-time Los Angeles gang member Michael Dixon (Gooding). The two shared a strong bond before Dixon disappeared from Los Angeles, leaving Little Boy to join the gang and seek out a psychotic member as his surrogate father. When a chance encounter leads the gang to Dixon, the agent is forced to take extreme measures to protect his family.

The Motion Picture Corporation of America production, shooting on location in New Mexico, is produced by Brad Krevoy and Karri O'Reilly.

Bray's credits include "All About the Benjamins" and the 2004 remake of "Walking Tall." MPCA feature productions include "Undisputed," "Kingpin," "Boat Trip" and "Albino Alligator."
