CeeJay, Benny Parrish and Red form a stark, meditative triad in a film that acts like a quiet biopsy of a fragile American moment. This is a story built around three protagonists who each carry a different weight of circumstance: a young boy named Benny Parrish whose bipolar disorder threads joy and pain through his daily life; a Black teenager named CeeJay, an aspiring football player who seeks refuge at Bombay Beach to outrun the fate that felled his cousin in Los Angeles; and an elder survivor known as Red, a weathered oil field worker whose vitality is fueled by whiskey, cigarettes, and an irrepressible love of life.
