This drama was written and directed by Harmony Korine, who also starred in the film, alongside Jacob Reynolds, Nick Sutton, Jacob Sewell and Chloë Sevigny. The film takes place in Xenia, Ohio, which had, two years previously, been struck by a tornado that destroyed half the town and killed half of its residents. The film focuses on a number of main characters - bored adolescents in a bleak town - as they fill their time with anti-social adventures.
