Synopsis
Set in small-town New England, Phillip The Fossil follows an aging party animal chasing the now extinct glory days of his youth. Blowing lines with kids half his age, making it rain in strip clubs, and voraciously pawing naive girls with "JUICY" tagged across their rears are all part of Phillip's relentless pursuit of the endless summer. He chuckles along as the carefree town jester, but beneath this suffocating guise Phillip feels increasingly isolated in the dead end rut he has so comfortably dug. The chance to pull himself out comes when an old love returns home and the opportunity to run his own landscaping business knocks. But before Phillip can dust himself off he must first ditch the woefully insecure seventeen year-old that's been his shadow for the last month. With her jealous steroid-pumping ex in his grill and a best friend returning from Iraq with an acutely hostile form of PTSD, it isn't long before Phillip gets tangled in tornado of violence that may tarnish his future forever.
