Feature film synopsis: THE SNAKE - When Jamie collides with her venomous mother, her life blows up spectacularly, leaving her unhoused and newly single. This sets her off on a pig-in-a-hurricane journey for "home": breaking into her Nana’s house, a rejected bid to move in with her van-dwelling ex, and crashing at her best friend’s pied-à-terre, which ends disastrously after Jamie sleeps with her friend’s husband. This all lands her in the worst home of all, J*il.
There, Jamie finds the unconditional love she craves through Bozo, a dog she meets in the J*il’s canine rehabilitation program. She eventually returns to her Nana’s house—this time, truly free.
Please be advised that this film contains scenes of substance abuse.
