Synopsis
Austin, a screenwriter, and Lee, a petty criminal, are recently reconciled brothers with little in common. Confined together in a suburban home, Austin prepares for a lucrative meeting with a Hollywood producer, a connection which prompts keen interest from Lee. Shepard’s searing black comedy takes apart the resentment of sibling estrangement to reveal that perceived differences are perhaps not all they seem. (soulpepper.ca)
