One Sunday morning, a mysterious person is found sleeping in a church in an unnamed American town. The townsfolk call this person ‘Pew’, and seek to uncover who they are: their gender, race, age and intentions. Are they an orphan? And why won't they speak? Unable to agree on how to treat someone they cannot categorize - whether to adopt or imprison, help or harm them - this small town is quickly undone by Pew's terrifying silence. What remains is a foreboding, provocative, and amorphous fable about the world today: our borders and our boundaries, our fears and our woes.
