Cliff is a restless young man living in Mooncrest, a desert town of Lynchian proportions, searching for love in all the wrong places. Green yet quietly jaded, he longs for adventure and connection beyond his stagnant surroundings. When Marg — a prickly, charismatic woman claiming to be his birth mother — arrives unexpectedly, Cliff finally meets someone who seems to understand him. But Marg carries secrets and a dangerous past, pulling them both into a chaotic misadventure neither could have imagined. Blending offbeat humor with heartfelt emotion, Nick Butler’s low-fi dark comedy explores misfits chasing belonging, identity, and love against improbable odds.
