A failing teenage badminton player at a Catholic Girls School is visited by a Saint - who agrees to help her if she'll complete three tasks for him. Dead Birds is a twisted Super Natural Black Comedy about competitive mother daughter relationships, losing your religion and learning how far you'd go to get what you want.
