About
"Life Is Poor, Nasty, Brutish, and Short" - Thomas Hobbes
What if you lost everything? Where would you go? What would you do? Joe, a young architecture student, is forced to drop out of school after his parents die in a car accident, leaving only unpaid bills behind. Scrambling around trying to find a job, and a way to get his studies and life on track, he ends up on the edge of homeless, until he connects with a colorful bunch of characters squatting in a boarded up old house, where they "borrow" electricity. Each day in the house is an adventure in character, the good, the bad, the comedic, the heavy, and the chaos and insanity of life at the bottom of the barrel.
