A darkly comic, surreal satire of suburban motherhood that uses magical realism and body horror to explore the feral, transformative power lurking beneath domestic constraint.

A woman, thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a toddler in the suburbs, slowly embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, as she becomes increasingly aware of the bizarre and undeniable signs that she may be turning into a dog.
