Synopsis: The film adaptation of Bow and Arrow, as performed by Reuben and the Dark, follows the story of a young boy and his father as they struggle to cope with the loss of a loved one, and their family’s dissolution.

Bow and Arrow opens with Eli and Joel in the midst of resentment towards one another on their family farm. Eli’s father Joel, unable to regain his emotional strength, has become completely absent and begins to take his frustrations and sorrow out on Eli, subsequently leading to an exponential point of fear and chaos. Eli fights for survival as he tries to understand his father’s pain, and Joel fights to grasp the only glimpse of pride and love he has left in his life.
