The Spud

In The Spud, KP and JD are the brother and secret admirer of a mass shooter/charismatic leader of the group Damning the Damned. The pair drive through rural Idaho in KP's truck amid the physical and mental landmarks of the heinous act until JD pulls the trigger on a plan of her own, told in a style where thoughts play out like film.
