river man (2026)

Brock Haywood (Brandt Garber) lives on the margins of an unnamed American city, his days defined by the cycle of addiction and the slow, brutal process of withdrawal. As his body rebels, memories — fragmented, contradictory, sometimes violent — intrude on his present. Figures from his past appear and vanish; strangers on the street take on threatening significance. Paranoia tightens its grip. The line between what Brock remembers, what he imagines, and what is actually happening dissolves, leaving him — and the audience — to navigate a reality that shifts with every tremor.
