Synopsis

A bizarre and explosive family reunion takes place unexpectedly when a prodigal grandson returns to his estranged family's Illinois farm. At first recognized by neither his grandparents nor his own father, he soon realizes this homecoming has unearthed an unwanted family inheritance, rather than the idealized midwestern roots he hoped to find.
