When bodybuilder Jackie (Katie O'Brian) walks into Lou’s (Kristen Stewart) gym, there’s instant attraction. Soon the pair are cohabitating and planning Jackie’s win at an upcoming contest. But after an act of violence, the bodies start to pile up. Is there a way out for the couple?

Stewart and O’Brian are mesmerising in this strange, sexy and darkly comic queer crime drama. Beyond the gripping central performances, Ed Harris offers menacing support as Lou’s ne’er do well father.
