In tornado-scarred Xenia, Ohio, kids and adults drift through days with little structure and less direction. The film loosely follows a few locals as they roam the town, killing time in ways that are petty, strange, and often destructive, while brief vignettes cut away to other residents living amid the same damage and neglect. Rather than building to one central plot, it moves from encounter to encounter, showing a place where boredom, cruelty, and routine have fused into everyday life. As faces recur, including characters played by Jacob Reynolds and Chloë Sevigny, the town itself becomes the throughline: a broken community seen in fragments.
