Based in the humid heart of rural Alabama, this is the tale of Chip and Fish, two twenty-something drifters scraping by on dreams, drugs, and dime-store philosophy. Haunted by lost love and failed fatherhood, Chip spirals toward a reckoning with his past as he tries to reconnect with Day, the mother of his daughter, Anya. What begins as a night of underground music and misguided hope descends into violence and revelations illuminated by burning bonfires. Cottonmouth is a fractured love story about broken men grasping for grace in a world that's given them none.
