Wretch (2019)
Synopsis
Nat Harris has returned to his hometown of Kansas
City, Missouri seeking some peace. With the help of his roommate and
best friend Aleah he's got thirty days sobriety, a good job and a clean
place to live. Nat's also fallen in love with Adam, a young man who
lives closeted in his mother's conservatively religious house. After
Adam receives the dooming diagnosis of a sudden aggressive cancer, Nat
winds up under the tutelage of his eccentric boss Jean, at the
vegetarian cafe where he works. Jean is a practitioner of an esoteric
healing arts modality known as "Enceladism," and with the help of her
own mentor, the shadowy and messianic cult author Pete, she undertakes
to train Nat to develop his powers in order to heal Adam and awaken to
his own "higher purpose." But in doing so, Nat releases forces that
threaten to destroy everything he holds dear.
