After a decade of living safely in his secluded forest home, a sheltered hybrid deer-boy named Gus (Christian Convery) unexpectedly befriends a wandering loner named Jepperd (Nonso Anozie). Together they set out on an adventure across what’s left of America in search of answers - about Gus' origins, Jepperd's past, and the true meaning of home.
