Corey's just bought a house in the suburbs, ready for a new start. Life's great! Except...Corey's next-door neighbor Adam has been harboring a grudge against his twin brother Thomas, and he'll stop at nothing to achieve retribution. Even if it tears the whole neighborhood apart.

Loosely inspired by Seneca's grisly revenge play Thyestes, The Ninth Annual Hemlock Avenue Barbecue is part dark comedy, part bleak horror-tragedy—set in the most terrifying place imaginable: modern American suburbia.
