Costa Mesa, 2021. Studio art major Diane comes home from NYU after avoiding it for four years. All of the things she had left behind are patiently waiting: her aloof mother Prue, her meek brother Frank, her crestfallen former friend Anthony, and the empty space left behind by her late father Francis. Meanwhile, Prue races against the clock to finish a piece for an art exhibition celebrating AAPI women—ignoring deeply troubled Diane in the process. The Reilly family is haunted by their pasts, both distant and near, and must come together to find peace.

Ginny Greene has been raising her son Walker on her own since the age of eighteen, living in a shack just outside the Great Dismal Swamp and steering clear of the hateful townsfolk nearby. She shields Walker from the outside world the best she can, but he grows curious, finding himself drawn in by Roderick Koenig, the rebellious son of the fabulously wealthy steel mill owner Roger Koenig. Ginny must do her best to protect her son and their less-than-traditional lifestyle from the looming threat of local blood knight cop Earl Hunt.
This reimagining of the story of Grendel and his mother in Beowulf takes the Germanic epic poem down south to rural North Carolina for a bluegrass-tinged romp through themes of family, tradition, individuality, religion, and revenge.
