Synopsis

After years working in Hollywood, and after a twenty-five year absence, filmmaker Maringouin returns as the prodigal son to his Terrytown, Louisiana birth home. Placed in the center of an emotional battle, he films a most intimate, frank and strange portrait about the complex relationship between the filmmaker's estranged father, the Dadaist painter Johnny Roe, Jr, and Roe's self-destrucive common-law wife, Virgie Marie Pennoui. Johnny is a New Orleans legend, known for being a career heroin user, a street-fighting pimp, and an accused murderer. He also once tried to kill his son. A cautionary tale enveloped in an atmosphere which has its main characters chasing demons and pursued by death.
