Crowe taps into Welsh and British folklore in this story of two boys struggling with grief. Ash is training for the Stag Chase, an annual ritual hunt in which he'll play the part of the quarry, and former best-friend Mark one of the hound boys who chases him. The boys' pain, the drought-blighted land, and the imagery of Bone Jack combine with increasing intensity.
