Synopsis

THE STORY: In a first-ring suburb just outside a city that might be Detroit, Ben and Mary see sudden signs of life at the deserted house next door and invite their new neighbors Sharon and Kenny over for a barbecue.

As the action unfolds we learn that Sharon and Kenny met at rehab, neither is employed, and they don't own a stick of furniture.

The quintessential American backyard party turns quickly turns into something more dangerous—and filled with potential.
