Al invites his best friend, Bobby, to spend the weekend. They drink beer, shoot guns, and use a metal detector to search for used bullet cartridges so they can reuse them. Al’s wife, “Mama”, fixes up corn beef for dinner in the trailer. A typical weekend in rural Maine quickly turns into an emotional expose of a life lived hard as Al candidly revisits his complicated past: the addictions that derailed his marriage and the overdose that took his daughter. This primer of blue-collar philosophy is a darkly optimistic character study about the choices that haunt us and the stories we tell just to stay alive.
