Melanie Lynskey finds a new sense of purpose after being burgled in actor Macon Blair's (Green Room) writing-directing debut. Co-stars Elijah Wood.

"Ruth (Lynskey), a depressed nursing assistant, returns from work to find dog poo on her lawn and her house burgled. Losing faith in the police (and possibly humanity as a whole), Ruth starts her own investigation, joining forces with her erratic neighbour – and dog poo culprit – Tony (Wood). Upon locating her stolen laptop, they trace it back to a consignment store, leading them to a gang of degenerate criminals and a dangerous, bizarre underworld where they’re way out of their depth." (Toronto International Film Festival)
