Adapted from a sensational real-life case in 2013, the intricate story begins when a young man partners with his friend to murder and dismember his parents.

Many lines and scenes up for interpretation, many ways to understand the portrayal of each character - evidence of the depth that the movie was able to bring the audience to explore.
