Intrigue

A group of five twenty somethings that live in a run down boarding house all face eviction at once, forcing a chain of events that reveal secrets from their past, as they try to save their home.

The six reclusive slackers who live in Jupiter Landing. a run-down house that's been converted into an apartment complex, are forced to unite when their landlord gives them a 30-day eviction notice. Nicki, a cub reporter who spends too much time on her job and not enough on her messed-up personal life, tries to organize the eclectic group to retaliate against the landlord; unfortunately, she has little to work with. Tyson, a brooding bad-boy lawyer who keeps his distance from everyone, is content to spend his free time locked in his apartment getting stoned and watching porn. Bert, a former pro-football player who unexpectedly abandoned the game at the height of his career, has a cheating wife and a mysterious connection to Jupiter Landing that no one understands. Amber, a Gothic waif and part-time hair stylist, is afraid of her own shadow and barely comes out of her apartment to get her mail. And Catfish, the anti-hero, anti-establishment rebel whose twisted viewpoint through which the story is presented, shows his disapproval of society by eating out of dumpsters and refusing to bathe; his favorite pastime is exchanging philosophies with the homeless guy who lives in the alley out back. When Tyson's past catches up with him, all the characters are thrown into a tailspin of emotional and moral confrontation they aren't prepared to handle. Each character has a secret they can't afford to reveal. Even the house has a secret--one that ties the tenants together in a way they never expected.—Stacy Dymalski
