1995. The stale, heavy air of the trailer park hangs around Eddie’s rusted home as he spends his thirtieth birthday alone. Once a figure from the other side’s nightmares, he now lives a reflection of his uncle’s bleak life—a plant worker, severed from the world by old scars. The quiet is broken by a sharp, impatient knock. He lets out a heavy sigh, sets his beer can down, tugs at his rumpled shirt and boxers, and lumbers toward the door, expecting nothing but another problem.
