A dark romantic odyssey that uses cannibalism as metaphor for outsider love and abandonment, balancing sensual intimacy against brutal violence and existential guilt.

Abandoned by her father, a young woman embarks on a thousand-mile odyssey through the backroads of America where she meets a disenfranchised drifter. But despite their best efforts, all roads lead back to their terrifying pasts and to a final stand that will determine whether their love can survive their otherness.
