Mort the Clown travels south with a singular hope: to find answers in a world that has given him little mercy. He embarks on a journey of self-discovery with Bulbous, his tiny but lethal skunk companion, in tow. The rejected circus performer and his menace of a pet leave a trail of unhinged chaos in their wake while on a quest that grapples with both Mort’s personal traumas and the reflection of his rawest parts. Beneath the violence beats the heart of a man unearthing his own value amidst the carnage.
When Veronica—a guarded, enigmatic presence who recognizes Mort’s vulnerability – crosses the clown’s path on his journey, a bizarre friendship is formed. The kindred spirits collide when fleeing from their own personal demons in an unspoken bond.
Together, they depart reality into a landscape where the lines of brutality and tenderness blur and companionship blossoms. In a story that pushes the boundaries of horror and morality, Mort must face the question that has haunted him all along: what part of himself is worth saving when the world has taught him only destruction?
