One family's somewhat unconventional lifestyle is shaken to the core when the long abandoned motorway, beside which they happily and freely live in isolation, is finally opened. As their way of life is threatened and their relationships with one another are severely tested their entire concept of 'home' is challenged.

"Josephine Decker has created a new style of thriller that employs allegory, incorporates touches of David Lynch as well as Magritte -esque imagery. Decker's setting of a remote farm feels like a metaphor for what turns out to be hell. The raw and emotional (and yes, sometimes funny) dialog tells a story that can seem familiar at points but really is meant to keep you guessing and off balance.
