Offering a subversive take on the traditional revenge tale, a beach bum drifter finds himself in over his head when he tries to avenge the death of his parents in this 1970s-style thriller. FIPRESCI Prize winner for director Jeremy Saulnier at Cannes 2013.
Dwight (Macon Blair) leads a bleak life, sifting through dumpsters for food and sleeping in his run-down car, but when he receives news that a hometown felon has been released from prison, Dwight heads back there with murder on his mind. As he attempts to settle a score from his past, Dwight finds himself locked in a brutal, violent struggle with a close-knit, gun-wielding clan as he tries to protect what remains of his own family.
