CAVE CANEM is a modern Southern Gothic exploring the possibility of forgiveness in the face of dire consequences. On the darkest night of his life, Jermichael cut off his lifelong friendship with his next-door neighbor. Two years later, the neighbor has adopted his nephew, a dog, and Jermichael has just been granted partial custody of his son, a human. The former best friends attempt to bottle their resentments before their collective rage takes complete control.

A pair of coworkers in the basement of a tampon factory toil away under the yoke of a power-drunk boss. They come to grips with the reality of their situation and brew a plot to unionize.
