Frailty

In present‑day Texas a string of unsettling murders has drawn the attention of the FBI, and the crimes appear to be claimed by a self‑styled vigilante group calling itself “God’s Hands.” The investigation pulls the quiet town into a swirl of suspicion, faith‑filled rhetoric, and the uneasy feeling that something far more personal lies at the heart of the violence.

​Fenton Meeks, a deeply religious but struggling man, steps forward offering the agents a glimpse into a family history that blurs the line between devotion and dread. His nervous honesty and the weight of his secrets set a tone of quiet tension, hinting at a past shaped by loss, an oppressive father figure, and a belief that divine purpose can justify extreme actions.

​Agent Wesley Doyle arrives to separate myth from fact, bringing a pragmatic, skeptical perspective to a case that seems to be written in scripture as much as in forensic reports. The clash between his seasoned law‑enforcement mindset and the fervent convictions of the locals creates a palpable push‑and‑pull, underscoring the film’s mood of uneasy claustrophobia within an otherwise open landscape.

The story unfolds within a modest, sun‑baked world where ordinary objects become symbols of hidden intent and the quiet corners of a family home conceal a darker narrative. As the two men probe deeper, the audience is left to wonder how far belief can be twisted before it becomes a weapon, and whether the answers lie in the shadows of a seemingly simple Texas town.
