 Hazel Fortune (Yul Vazquez) works in a strip club in the small Southern town of Redemption. Haunted by the death of his only daughter, Fortune has become a self-destructive, suicidal alcoholic, until he meets Starla Motes (Nicole DuPort). Hazel s downward spiral is interrupted when is befriended by Starlas daughter, Hope (Emily Young). But when Hope is kidnapped by Enoch Pitt (William Forsythe), a ruthless, psychotic preacher on a bloody crusade, Hazel must make the decision to rejoin the living and risk life and limb to save her from a terrible end. Southern Gothic is a genre-blurring drama/horror film set in the South, and defies convention by seamlessly blending art house and slaughterhouse.
