Synopsis

Set in the small town of Gloucester, this surrealist drama explores the return of a young man (Rory Alexander) to his old life after the disappearance of his mother. Following his release from a psychiatric hospital, all appears to begin again as normal when his guardian Dunleavy (Mark Rylance) takes him in and offers him his old job back at the garage. But, one night, taken to a mysterious club by fellow garage workers, the old magic of the forest and his past collide in ways he could never expect.
