Deep in the wilderness of
rural middle America, 12-year-old Florence is eager to undergo the rite-of-
passage of her first deer hunt. A tradition passed down through many
generations of women in her family, the act of killing a deer symbolizes the
transition into adulthood. As Florence is taught how to shoot a gun and skin a
deer, she gains a deeper understanding of life and death. When Florence finds
herself alone during a hunt, however, expectations dissolve into chaos as she
must rely on her instinct and training to follow through with her decisions,
pull herself together, and face becoming an adult.
