"Does trauma-bonding negate the love?"

In the flinty drama, "Catching Dust," Geena (Erin Moriarty of "The Boys") lives out in the Texas desert with Clyde (Jai Courtney of "Kaleidoscope"). She is trapped and bored, sketching drawings to pass the time. Just as she is about to leave Clyde, Andy (Ryan Corr) and Amaya (Dina Shihabi) unexpectedly arrive. This attractive new couple from New York are looking to "reset." However, their presence does not sit well with Clyde — he welcomes them by pulling a gun. As Geena befriends Andy, who teaches art, he tells her she has potential. There may be a sexual attraction developing, too. Meanwhile, Amaya thinks Clyde is dangerous and tries to get Geena away from him — but Geena is reluctant to leave.

"Catching Dust" is compelling as the chamber drama plays out in the desert and everyone is suspicious of everyone else. Geena tries to keep things even-keeled as tensions keep flaring. Geena may still have feelings for Clyde, but she also wants more from her life; she is frustrated when he reveals his plans for their future. This may be why she is interested in Andy. Amaya just seethes with contempt at the situation.
