A slow-burn exploration of fractured brotherhood and unresolved trauma, where two estranged men confront a painful past in the isolation of the woods.

Middle-aged Jem sets out from his suburban home on a journey into the woods, where he reconnects with his estranged hermit brother Ray. Bonded by a mysterious, complicated past, the men share a fraught, if occasionally tender relationship—one that was forever altered by shattering events decades earlier.
