violence
A character is slowly impaled with a sword, resulting in sight of blood. People are held down and repeatedly beaten over the head with a mallet. There are occasional shootings.
drugs
People forage for magic mushrooms, consuming them and experiencing hallucinogenic episodes.
additional issues
There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms such as 'son of a bitch', 'crap', 'hell' and 'damn'. Characters are threatened with guns, blades and blunt instruments. A man's leg becomes caught in a bear trap. Small amounts of blood are occasionally visible following injuries. A decayed corpse is discovered in woodland. It is implied a person has taken their own life. There are upsetting scenes around illness and bereavement, as well as references to mental health concerns.
