Grace has nowhere to turn when she finds herself lost in the wilderness with a dark presence threatening to consume her in this twisted folk horror.

Drax, a centuries-old vampire hiding in plain sight, spends his nights painting and resisting the urge to feed. But when he meets Marcus, a magnetic young skater, the lines between hunger, desire, and connection begin to blur.

This ensemble drama explores a number of interweaving relationships, all grappling with polyamory and sexual expression, amid the personal and societal expectations faced by each character.

A young woman discovers second-wave feminism, while meeting with her estranged half-sister, as they encounter the grief, rage, jealousy and injustice that govern their lives. The academic and political discussion of women's liberation and feminism (as part of the sexual revolution of the 1970s) draws inspiration from 'The Scum Manifesto' by Valerie Solanas and juxtaposes these passage with country music from the same era; notably 'The Pill' by Loretta Lynn, 'Just Because I'm A Woman' by Dolly Parton and, most centrally, 'Stand By Your Man' by Tammy Wynette.
