What is A Moon for the Misbegotten about?

On a barren farm in Connecticut, Josie Hogan dreams of more. Abandoned by her brothers and trapped with her volatile father, the desire for change feels urgent.

Haunted by the death of his mother, James Tyrone Jr drinks to cover the pain. Trapped in a spiral of guilt and shame he longs for connection.

When the two are brought together, a single night reveals a devastating truth and both will be altered forever.
