The rural American south, sometime in a near and broken future. Logan is starting high school, and he and his best friend Colby mean to make a name for themselves. But to be part of the in-crowd in this town means chopping -- an intense rite-of-passage in which you down a handful of opioids and let a machete-wielding friend sever your forearm, then reattach it with a new kind of first-aid technology. It's gruesome, it's dangerous, it's illegal; but if Logan wants to fit in, he must find the courage while navigating this strange world of adolescence.
