Synopsis by Olivia Cantor
After distancing himself from his small Texan town for nearly two decades, Mikey Saber (Simon Rex) inexplicably returns, much to the surprise of his estranged wife Lexi (Bree Elrod). Yet unbeknownst to his conservative community, Mikey failed to make a name for himself as an adult film actor, his return necessitated by his washed-up career. A chance encounter with the charming Strawberry (Suzanna Son) then forces Mikey to reconsider his self-image and repair the relationships he thought he damaged for good. Sean Baker writes and directs this comedy-drama co-starring Brenda Deiss.
