A group of eight misfits living in a misfit house go about their daily business in true Fraser style: Corbett works in porno and owns a pet snake; Caddie is a stripper; Travis is a busboy who aspires to be a waiter; and one of the people living in their house is a murderer. After Corbett’s "dead" snake escapes, bizarre things begin to happen in the house. The darkness in this play may not be the result of the lives led by the characters, but the house they live in. |
