With the ominous and inventive DEAD MAIL, the filmmaking team of Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy have crafted a devious tale that brings to mind the early work of the Coen Brothers (particularly BLOOD SIMPLE).

On a desolate Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled 'dead letter' investigator responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender.

As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who appears to have a vested interest in the note and will stop at nothing to retrieve it.
