(interior; 3 m, 1 f): Perry, the radically queer half of a young, just-married male couple finds himself aggressively haunted by a ghost, the bombastic, Eisenhower-era architect who designed Perry and Ian’s gleaming suburban house. The aggressive Lorenzo, who died as a newlywed days after moving his bride into his boldly stylish home, sets out to literally scare the hell out of Perry, a feat he has accomplished with stay-at-home spouses over 60 years. Yet Lorenzo has finally met his match in the confrontational Perry. On a storm-ravaged July 4th, the two men, one human, one other-worldly, almost move past their ideological impasse, discovering things in common, and in an unguarded moment, perhaps even an emotional attraction. A freshly obsessed Perry hunts down an enigmatic 75-year-old stranger, who may shed light on the night of Lorenzo’s death and his true motives for occupying his gleaming architectural prize. A harrowing séance-like showdown leaves members of an unusual quartet – even the restless, long-deceased one – poised to face all new futures. A postmillennial ghost story about gender, domesticity, and the cost of escaping our most precious comfort zones.
