In the cold, restless dark of a Wyoming night…

Four young conservatives reunite in a Wyoming backyard, gathered to celebrate the woman who shaped them. What begins as a homecoming quickly unravels — old loyalties strain, beliefs collide, and the night turns into something far darker than a party.

Will Arbery's Pulitzer Prize finalist is a fierce, empathetic portrait of Catholic conservatism from the inside — exposing the fractures of faith, identity, and generational unrest in a country tearing at its seams.
