Description
Peter Jernigan's life is spiralling out of control. His marriage has ended, he's lost his job and feels disconnected from his teenage son. As the pressures mount, Jernigan turns to alcohol for comfort, but even that's losing its effectiveness. Desperate for a solution, he lashes out at those around him - including his new girlfriend and himself. As the situation escalates, Jernigan's sharp wit becomes increasingly caustic, veering from dark humour to outright horror. This is a story about the devastating consequences of hitting rock bottom and the desperate measures people take to cope with their problems. A gripping and unflinching portrayal of a man on the brink, Jernigan is a powerful exploration of the human condition.
