The death of child-hood: VARMiNT follows a filthy 12 year-old feral boy, whose only link to his past are a pair of underpants and tattered baby blanket. Sleeping in trees, he fights to survive by scavenging nearby farms at night. When he becomes obsessed with the mechanical wonders of a local farmer’s tractor, survival could prove fatal.

The violent conclusion challenges lessons in adulthood, social conventions, and man’s thoughtless disposals of life.
