In small town America, Chester waits for his brother to turn eighteen so the two of them can escape a mother in the clutches of QAnon conspiracy theories, but when their mom finds a boyfriend with similar warped values, her behavior worsens. Unwilling to leave his brother behind, Chester rides it out, but when Chester falls for Jericka Watts, his desire to escape the narrow-minded, racist community grows. As circumstances deteriorate, so does Chester's tolerance for his mother’s choices, and tensions build like a powder keg. In this powerful tale of budding love, laughter and the loyalty between brothers, Chester navigates thorny relationships and discovers that sometimes, when hope departs, life begins.
