THE BLURB
Tonight, in a living room not far from you, an HOA Board convenes after an act of vandalism takes place at Meryl’s house. What begins as neighborly concern turns volatile as questions become accusations and the room fractures, exposing the invisible borders of class and power. Beneath the civility, something sharper emerges: Suspicion, self-interest, and the quiet thrill of deciding who belongs. In this community, where territory is everything, decency is just another performance. Welcome to the neighborhood.
