A lost son. A desperate father. A teenage hustler with secrets he won't share. When Bud, a sales agronomist for a big seed company, checks into an Iowa motel hunting for his boy, he finds Holler, a young hustler reeling from his boyfriend's suicide. Each thinks the other holds the key to escape. A fragile and dangerously paternal bond forms. As a spectre of his lost boy circles the motel, Bud leads Holler toward a terrifying mutation neither can outrun. ‘A gripping, genre-blending drama that masterfully intertwines tension, horror, and poignant human connections’ (Danielle Wirsansky).
