Passing Through

by Nick Robideau

Javier and Matt have just moved into their dream house in Upstate New York to escape the city – and the baggage of their own shared past. Unbeknownst to both of them, though, they’re not alone in their new house. Their presence inspires a sexual awakening in the house’s resident spirit, and after 100+ years of being dead, he’s not exactly great at boundaries.

Javier and Matt have just moved into their dream house in Upstate New York to escape the city – and the baggage of their own shared past. Unbeknownst to both of them, though, they’re not alone in their new house. Their presence inspires a sexual awakening in the house’s resident spirit, and after 100+ years of being dead, he’s not exactly great at boundaries. Together with Javier’s amateur-psychic-best-friend Isis, everyone in the house, living and dead, are on a crash course with the ghosts of their past and on the other side of that, just maybe, a path forward.

Passing Through

JAVIER: Empathetic and caring, but with a slightly snarky sarcastic edge to him. Very much a care-giver who tends to put himself second, or last. Mid-30s, Latino.

MATT: Javier's husband. Intense, earnest, and sometimes a little moody. He struggles with mental health issues and carries a lot of shame about it. Mid-30s, white.

ASTRA: Javier's best friend. Hippy and New Age-y to an almost embarrassingly goofy degree, but still somehow cool despite it. Mid-30s, could be any race but probably better if she's not white.

THE FIGURE: A ghost, known as Arthur in life. He's ethereal and all raw feelings, equal parts tormented and curious. 34 at the time of his death, white.
