A portrait of rural life in Northen Island, Pumpgirl sees the lives of two women become perilously intertwined—Pumpgirl, a tomboy who works in a gas station, and Sinead, the wife of an amateur stock-car racer whose isolated, disappointing existence causes her to simmer with rage.

Pumpgirl will feature costume design by Molly Seidel (The Woodsman) and lighting design by Michael O’Connor (Little Gem). Casting will be announced at a later date.
