A whimsical, character-driven mystery about grief and belonging wrapped in the gentle strangeness of a secret society, balancing melancholy with genuine warmth and playful absurdism.

Dud is a deadbeat but charming ex-surfer who joins a fraternal order hoping to reclaim the simple, happy lifestyle he lost when his father died. Through the Lodge and his newfound connection with the other members, Dud will come to find the missing sense of purpose in his life and confront his deepest fears and greatest hopes.
