The film is described by Hall as "a substance abuse art house riff on the destructive and volatile nature of love." The film follows a woman's strange journey with a violent, hallucinatory depiction.[2] On November 5, Metal Injection debuted a clip from the film featuring the song "Kelowna." A quote included with the clip provided information about the content of the film:
Blood, crotch, cult, barns and snow. A young woman finds herself in Disgorge, Mexico for the first time. How her hands came to be covered in blood she does not know. She walks a few steps then panics as four beautiful people wearing white, hooded robes descend on her body to debauch her soul to fuckdust. She is one of them now.[3]
— David Hall
