The story is set in Texas in 1989. In the film, a carpenter Richard shot and killed an unidentified man who broke into his home in the middle of the night, so he suddenly became a small town celebrity the next day. Imagine a low-key little carpenter who hit a person in the right eye with a shot and was squirted with blood in his face. The film is not verbose. Three minutes before the start of the film, there is blood from a wall, a floor, and a sofa. The carpenter became a small town celebrity the next day. Before he had time to adapt to this disturbing popularity, the deceased's father Ben came to seek revenge. At first glance, this father was definitely not beneficial. He was able to break into Richard's son's bedroom amidst the heavy siege of the police. He would not kill or go mad, but stood quietly in the thunderstorm, creating the presence of hell death. Seeing this, you thought the film was about revenge and defense between the two fathers, but the film took a big turn and started another plot that was completely unexpected --- the atonement and punishment between the father and the son.
