A surreal, darkly comic fever dream about an eccentric boy's obsession with flight, blending absurdist humor with murder mystery and existential unease.

Brewster is an owlish, intellectual boy who lives in a fallout shelter of the Houston Astrodome. He has a dream: to take flight within the confines of the stadium. Brewster tells those he trusts of his dream, but displays a unique way of treating others who do not fit within his plans.
