The Stranger Things and The Whale actress, 20, stars alongside Jessica Capshaw, Justin Bartha, Theo Rossi, Kweku Collins and Mckenzie Noel Rusiewicz in the upcoming film Dear Zoe, in which she plays a teenager struggling to cope with her younger half-sister's death.

"Dear Zoe follows Tess (Sadie Sink), her mother Elly (Jessica Capshaw), stepfather David (Justin Bartha), and little sister Emily (Vivien Lyra Blair) in the aftermath of the unimaginable loss of Tess's other little sister, Zoe (Mckenzie Noel Rusiewicz)," reads an official synopsis for the upcoming film.

"Struggling with a sea of emotions, Tess embarks on a journey where she finds support from surprising sources," the synopsis adds. "Her biological father, Nick (Theo Rossi) a lovable slacker from the wrong side of the tracks, and the charming juvenile delinquent next door, Jimmy (Kweku Collins) Nick and Jimmy provide Tess the time and space she needs to breathe, to live life, to have new adventures, and ultimately to be in a better place to deal with the loss of little Zoe."
