Morsel
Lou did what the children of parents with back-breaking, poor-paying jobs are supposed to do: pulled up her bootstraps, went to college, and got an office job with coworkers who won't stop talking about their multi-level marketing scheme disguised as self-betterment.
Determined to lift her ill mother out of poverty before it's too late, and in the spirit of climbing the corporate ladder, Lou accepts an assignment in the rural hills of Ohio. She quickly finds herself stranded in the middle of nowhere with a sabotaged truck, a dog she's determined to keep safe, and something stalking her through the ancient Appalachian woods.
If she can't escape the woods in time, she'll come face to face with the fact that her job isn't the only thing that wants to eat her alive.
Morsel is a chilling testament to the burden of generational poverty and the all-consuming nature of capitalism, where the monster and the monstrous, in the end, are not the same.
