Killian Maddox lives with his ailing veteran grandfather, obsessively working out between court-mandated therapy appointments and part-time shifts at a grocery store where he harbors a crush on a friendly cashier.

Though Killian’s struggles to read social cues and maintain control of his volatile temper amplify his sense of disconnection amid a hostile world, nothing deters him from his fiercely protected dream of bodybuilding superstardom, not even the doctors who warn that he’s causing permanent damage to his body with his quest.

“A brutal study of physical extremity and psychological meltdown built around an entirely astonishing lead performance from Jonathan Majors.” ~Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times

“What Majors does here, how raw and vulnerable and brave he is not just with his craft, but his very body, is something to behold. This is true artistry, absolute commitment.” ~Kate Erbland, IndieWire

“It’s the type of unique, highly memorable performance people talk about for years to come.” ~Chris Evangelista, Slashfilm
