Bobby Platt is a mentally slow young man who escapes an abusive,
hateful stepfather who has killed his pets one by one. To save himself,
Bobby runs away and meets a strange old man who wanders the highways to
bury roadkill animals. Bobby becomes the old man's apprentice and
learns to see the world of nature in a strange idyllic way. But soon
the shadow of his stepfather catches up to him and Bobby's world
explodes into a grotesque nightmare.
