What is Frailty about? Toggle content

In the small town of Thurman, Texas, a religious fanatic named Dad Meiks (Bill Paxton) has a vision from God to rid the world of demons disguised as humans. Believing his mission is to destroy these demons on God's behalf - with the help of his two sons, Adam (Matthew McConaughey)and Fenton (Matt O'Leary) - Meiks' actions become increasingly unsettling as he persuades Adam to join him in carrying out these heinous crimes while Fenton becomes more and more unhinged from reality. As the body count rises amidst their twisted father-son dynamic, Fenton's dependence on his father's doctrine gradually gives way to shocking revelations about his family's dark past. But when FBI agent Wesley Doyle (Powers Boothe) arrives on the scene investigating the "God's Hand" murders, Fenton's distorted worldview takes a dramatic turn, leading to a heart-stopping climax that will keep you guessing until the very end. Will Fenton's descent into madness lead him down a path of destruction, or will he find redemption before it's too late? Find out in the chilling thriller, "Frailty."
