Once upon a
time in a trailer park…
An awkward teenager named Thurman struggles through a life of repression.
His father, an out of work demolitionist, blames the boy for his wife
leaving and reminds him every so often with a vicious beating. To make
matters worse Thurman’s job as a gas station attendant doesn’t look
promising unless outhouse-cleaning duty for minimum wage starts paying
dividends.
One day Thurman happens across the caravan of an old Gypsy tattoo artist
who convinces him to purchase his latest masterpiece — that of a notorious
Gypsy Priestess known for her cruel and merciless punishments to those who
held her people captive. One by one Thurman’s problems begin to disappear
as the tattoo seems to take on a life of its own. Faced with a complex
moral struggle and a journey to the point of no return, Thurman must find
out how far he’s willing to go to break free from a life that always held
him back.
