Synopsis

Tyler is a teenager who lives in a healthy environment in a quiet town.

After Tyler finds evidence incriminating Don, the relationship between father and son follows an intense course.

Reception

Joseph Hernandez of the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival said that "this small town thriller has a sinister edge and sports an exciting narrative device that flips the story on its head."[2] Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter called the plot "slow ... more reliant on atmosphere than action to build suspense ... offers an intriguing perspective on the dark side of Americans values ... but lacks the conviction to entirely expose the cultural contradictions that often enable compulsive murderers ... It's a missed opportunity."[3]
