Deliver Me

Amidst a grueling job, a woman navigates motherhood, relationships, and her tumultuous past in Deliver Me, seeking love and acceptance.

In Deliver Me, the story unfolds at a meatpacking facility nestled in the Missouri Ozarks, where Dee-Dee and her colleagues labor tirelessly, processing an astonishing 40,000 chickens in just one shift. The work is not only monotonous but also physically punishing, leaving Dee-Dee's hands and joints aching from the relentless demands of their job. Yet, amidst this brutality, her thoughts are consumed by her own body and the life growing within her. After enduring a series of heartbreaking miscarriages, Dee-Dee is determined to see this pregnancy through to term, clinging to hope in the face of adversity.

Having distanced herself from her Pentecostal upbringing, Dee-Dee still grapples with the weight of her mother's judgment, which manifests in frequent calls urging her to abandon her 'sinful' lifestyle and marry her boyfriend, Daddy. An underemployed ex-con with peculiar interests, Daddy represents both a source of comfort and a reminder of her complicated past. With a child on the way, Dee-Dee craves the affection and validation that come with impending motherhood, believing it will finally make her feel whole and cherished.

However, the reappearance of her magnetic friend Sloane, after two decades apart, stirs up old insecurities and long-buried desires. As Dee-Dee navigates the complexities of her relationships and prepares for the arrival of her baby, she faces the daunting challenge of reconciling her past with her hopes for the future. In Deliver Me, the journey of self-discovery unfolds against a backdrop of love, loss, and the quest for belonging.
