Inspired by an episode of Cops, Hillbilly Wolf follows Dennis, a societal misfit / holy boy who lives in a small town in the Bible Belt region of North Louisiana. Troubled by unemployment, poverty and the death of his dog, Dennis copes with his anguish by believing in the salvation of the hereafter. His tendency toward violence, however, has made him a menace, ensuing in a meditated and desperate religious quest to escape this world.
