... In a secluded cabin in the woods, two brothers with a long conflicted relationship hatch an ill-conceived plot of revenge. Through reactive emotion, deviation from plan, and gross ineptitude, the situation slowly slides out of control and down a slippery slope toward moments of sudden, irrevocable, and surprising violence. Omnivores investigates how conflicts perpetuate themselves and why no one ever really forgives anyone else, in a cautionary tale of the dangers inherent in family, revenge, and leftovers.
