Short description

In Oklahoma, a lonely waitress named Agnes lives in a run-down roadside motel to escape her violent former husband. She begins a strange relationship with Peter, a mysterious man and Gulf War veteran.

This shared paranoia spirals into a dangerous instability that threatens their lives.
