Synopsis

It’s a simple story, about a simple man. He’s a dad, and he likes to surf, and he’d like to share that passion with his son for the very first time. Except that a group of toxic alpha males, who call themselves the “Bay Boys”, feel entitled to “their” strip of the beach, outsiders be damned. So they start humiliating him, in front of junior. But they don’t seem to realize they’re picking on the wrong daddy-o. Because we lied, he isn’t just some ordinary, dull dad. He’s Nic freakin’ Cage and he’s about to unleash his signature Cage Rage on them beach hudlums! After the surprising VIVARIUM Lorcan Finnegan ups the ante with this lurid, psychedelic punch against all the bullies that seem to run amok these days, and not only on our beaches… In before someone else says it: cult movie!
