A small-town beauty pageant queen, trapped by scripted smiles and expectations of perfection, secretly finds freedom in fishing and must decide whether to maintain her poise on stage or reclaim her true identity before the State pageant.

When a party animal grandma underestimates the power of drunk decisions, her family catches a glimpse of someone they never expected her to be, and she must overcome the fear of being vulnerable with her loved ones.

ROOSTERS explores masculinity, legacy, and the cost of absence. When a father returns to reclaim his place, he’s met by the son who already took it. The rooster isn’t the fight — it’s what they’re fighting for.
