Daddy issues? Try daddy murders. This family reunion's gonna need more than therapy.
While living under the roof of his aging, disgraced ex-cop father Gene Sarling (John Savage, The Deer Hunter), mentally unstable 22-year-old war veteran Paul (Aaron Perilo, True Blood) evolves from a petty thief and ransacker to brutal killer. And Gene, also a recovering alcoholic, is forced to confront the fiercest nemesis of his entire life: his own son. The feature writing and directing debut of Hollywood all-rounder Christoper Lee Parson is an astonishing high-wire act, a thriller stylised to maximum overload for a uniquely unsettling viewing experience.
