Mother's Little Helpers

If it helps you find love and happiness, is it really so bad that it wants to kill and eat you?

Rage Sutherland, an unemployed, foul-mouthed 30-year-old had never once made his dead parents proud – or tried to for that matter. Instead, he lives happily in his consequence-free forever-adolescence in the house his parents left him.

Down the hill behind his home, Mother, a massive underground fungus, is having an existential crisis. Starving and desperate, she births a new offspring—a mushroom that promises boundless love, followed by a slow, blissful death.

When the mushrooms pop up in his yard, Rage can’t resist. One bite, and his world explodes into overwhelming ecstasy.

Meanwhile, Emile Navarro, a long-dead murderer, is resurrected into a fungus-fueled hunter to find Mother fresh food. Navarro, a remorseless sexual deviant who never found satisfaction, is determined to get this new life “right” this time.

Rage enjoys his newfound love of everything, until he finds himself face-to-face with the creature, Navarro—and is forced to risk his happiness by making a choice between life and death.

Get caught between the urge to race ahead and the dread of what’s to come in this fast-paced, dark comedic horror thriller. A life-affirming yet chilling tale that reminds you everything will be okay—until it isn’t.
