Mysterious Skin

Overview

In the suffocating stillness of a small Kansas town, two boys, Neil and Brian, are bound by a shared, unspoken trauma from their childhood. Years later, their lives, seemingly disparate, begin to unravel as fragments of repressed memories surface, pushing them toward a reckoning with their past. Brian, haunted by vivid, recurring dreams, embarks on a desperate search for answers, his investigation pulling him into the shadowy underbelly of adult innocence lost. Meanwhile, Neil navigates a life of desperate survival, his path increasingly fraught with danger as he attempts to outrun the echoes of what was taken from him. Their intertwined journeys are a stark, unflinching exploration of memory, abuse, and the enduring quest for self-discovery in the face of profound darkness.
