A dark psychological thriller that weaponizes spiritual belonging and religious ritual to explore a vulnerable foster child's impossible choice between safety and community.

A foster child bonds with a snake-handling Pentecostal community but uncovers sinister truths. She must choose between reporting pastor's crimes or preserving her newfound support system, risking personal safety for a sense of belonging.
