Overview
Richard, a small-town man whose unusually large penis made him a local legend in his youth, has found himself 35, alone, and realizing the one thing everyone valued him for was never enough to build a life on. As Richard searches for meaning, he is pulled into an alpha-male group that promises answers and pushes him further off course.
