A young man, struggling to look after his family in Eastern Kentucky, takes it upon himself to go after his estranged father — a conflicted ex-con and Vietnam vet cutting a grisly path back to the family that shut him out. The son charges deep into the wilds of Appalachia, only to learn the true and terrifying reason why his father wants to come home.
Examine extremist beliefs as they unravel in the mind of a man emboldened by war and banished by his own family. A wild and tortured land of primordial beauty.
Take this man's story and paint it against the very remote and unforgiving hollows of Kentucky — a powder keg built during years of imprisonment for committing a tragic act of violence that he cannot atone for.
A man's heart is a wilderness.
