Matthew McConaughey stars as Amziah King, a charismatic Oklahoma beekeeper, bluegrass musician, and anchor of his close-knit rural community. When his former foster daughter Kateri (striking newcomer Angelina LookingGlass) returns after years away, Amziah welcomes the chance to rebuild their relationship and bring her into the family honey business. But fierce competition and unexpected threats soon push their reunion into darker territory, transforming the story into an unpredictable blend of family drama, crime thriller, Western, and comedy. The film premiered at the 2025 SXSW Film & TV Festival and earned strong notices for McConaughey and LookingGlass. RogerEbert.com called it “a new classic of the American South,” praising its affectionate portrait of community, music, and regional life.
