Synopsis

It's Jimmy's last day before going to war: he's addicted to glue, his mom is seeing visions in the sweet potato casserole, and his wheelchair-bound dad can and will kick his butt.

He turns to a higher power for answers, and finds an Ivory-billed Woodpecker instead.

A dark comedy that explores family, faith, and freedom, while blurring the lines between black and white and right and wrong.
