SYNOPSIS: After years in hiding and struggling to control his demons, an eccentric drifter returns home and discovers that his childhood abuser – the origin of all his conflicts, anguish and pain – is still alive. Armed by time, experience and life’s knowledge, the drifter plots his revenge. Meanwhile, on the radio, a steady stream of right-wing slogans against everything that is not white and heterosexual in countryside Texas, navigating the perilous land of masculine fragility in modern-day America.
