DRAGON explores the mythical world of love among dragons, and the challenge of living with regrets in the world of humans. On a hot stretch of land in Texas, a boy befriends a wounded dragon, while in a blizzard in Minnesota, a woman opens the door to a fire-breathing revelation. Spanning two moments of magic & the mundane, this is a tale of a boy, a dragon, and a dangerous love triangle.
