PREY AND PRAYERS

Indigenous young man Bali follows his father, a veteran hunter, into the mountain to hunt food for the family. His father calls it a day upon sensing something is off, while Bali throws a fit and refuses to leave until he gets something in the bag… The mountain gets darker and louder. Will Bali remain a predator… or a prey tonight?
