2. Like Father, Like Salt

How do we break out of the cycles we are born into? Over the course of one night, in a mansion tucked away in the wooded hills of Austin, Texas, a group of individuals wrestle with the aftermath of their own histories. Gut, an Afghan war veteran seeks her own corrosive idea of justice – she holds hostage the uber-rich Reuben, a man cursed by the shadow of his own father. Her plan starts to unravel as her sister starts asking questions, a mentally disturbed stranger arrives fleeing from the cold, and an expensive secret, hidden in the freezer, is discovered. This absurd illustration of revenge, class struggle, and spiritual absolution, drives these people towards revelations about the world and themselves, but at a dangerous cost.
