Storyline
After the death of his beloved mastiff, Arjun, emotionally fragile Carter becomes convinced the dog will return to life on Easter. Refusing to let go, he keeps the body hidden in his closet, clinging to the belief that their bond transcends death. His pragmatic cousin Pete and Pete’s sharp, skeptical girlfriend Dani attempt to intervene, but their well-intentioned plan to secretly dispose of the body only deepens Carter’s delusion.
When Carter experiences vivid “visions” of Arjun guiding him, he sets out on a spontaneous road trip to a small town called Galilee, convinced it holds the key to their reunion. As the trio travels together, tensions rise between logic and belief, forcing each of them to confront grief, loyalty, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive loss.
