Two outsiders clean roads and uncover wounds that won’t wash away in this tense, heartfelt journey.
In Road Kills, Owen, a solitary roadkill collector, and Jaki, grappling with a DUI conviction, find themselves paired up for six Saturdays of roadside duty in rural Wisconsin. As they navigate the highways together, their shared sense of isolation sparks unexpected conversations about faith, family, and trauma. What begins as a reluctant partnership evolves into a raw exploration of the marks left behind by abuse—both visible and hidden. Written by Sophie McIntosh and directed by Nina Goodheart, this gripping new drama confronts the impact of past wounds and the power of human connection in the most unlikely places.
