ROAD KILLS
What happens to the stains you can’t get out?
Owen is a roadkill collector. Jaki was busted for drunk driving. And for the next six Saturdays, they’re stuck with each other. As they traverse the highways of Wisconsin, they connect over their common ground as outsiders, challenge each other on issues of faith and family, and careen towards a collision that threatens to shatter them both. Road Kills forces us to confront the long-lasting repercussions of abuse — and urges us not to look away.
