 A man is obsessed with preserving a historic house in Los Angeles, But the house conceals sinister secrets of love, lust, and death.
Raymond is a real estate agent with a passion for historic preservation. His dream listing arrives when the owner of one of Los Angeles’ architecturally significant homes asks him to represent her modernist masterpiece. Open houses bring bumbling buyers and development speculators. When catastrophe strikes and the terms of the sale are hijacked, Raymond’s well-intentioned hopes and plans are thrown into chaos. Even the house itself seems to have its own nefarious agenda. Tragedy, societal tension, and ghosts of the home’s past all simmer to the surface, and the home’s good bones can’t hide the bad blood.
Russell Brown is the playwright. He is an award-winning filmmaker.
