Synopsis

Paul is a rebellious suburban teen whose family is a waking nightmare--his mom's replaced his abusive dad with a young man he can't stand, and his dad's started stalking the family. Paul finds his only refuge in drugs, and when a Christ-like figure nobody else seems to see starts making appearances at his home and school, his visions are variously interpreted as repressed rage, drug psychosis, and surfacing mental illness.
