Pacific Northwest. 1983 AD. Outsiders Red Miller and Mandy Bloom lead a loving and peaceful existence. When their pine-scented haven is savagely destroyed by a cult led by the sadistic Jeremiah Sand, Red is catapulted into a phantasmagoric journey filled with bloody vengeance and laced with fire.

In his second feature film visionist Panos Cosmatos invites viewers to dip into a visual and musical journey. Nicolas Cage played one of the most craziest roles in his career and composer Johann Johannsson wrote his last and most experimental soundtrack. This group of creators turned Mandy into a psychedelic heavy metal opera covered in the nostalgia of the 80s horror films.
