Synopsis

In the searing heat of the American South, Racine and Anaia, twin sisters with burn scars and a mission from their dying mother, embark on a revenge quest. Raised in a world marred by violence and trauma, they hunt down their estranged father, driven by a promise to their mother. As they traverse through the Southwest, the journey tests their bond, forces them to confront their past, and reveals the depths of their pain and resilience. This tale, laced with dark humour and raw emotion, challenges the boundaries of family loyalty and the cycle of violence.
