Available From:
Jeremy's girlfriend is pregnant, and he returns home to the mountains to tell his drunken, ne'er-do-well father. The only thing Jeremy's dad was ever good at was hunting angels, a dangerous pursuit but a profitable one, often netting thousands of dollars to the hunter for the sale of a single "rack," (the wings.) Since the angel hunt was outlawed more than a decade ago, Jeremy's dad has slid steadily downhill. With the news of Jeremy's impending fatherhood, he and his dad engage in one final hunt.
"Moving and real, capturing a way of life that is sometimes called 'poor white trash'."--Locus
