Synopsis
A millennial coming-of-age “coming out story” set in 2005. After a young queer teenager is outed by their family, they expose a web of mistrust and lies their family carries. This creates a poltergeist informed by conservative media, misunderstanding, and broken family bonds, as the protagonist is made a scapegoat for the family's own failures. The narrative reclaims queer horror by reflecting on the burden young queer people carry when coming out to their family unit. It’s a darkly comedic and dreamlike story of trans joy and resiliency in the Midwest.
