In the lovely neighborhood of Lowland Way there is no room for disturbances. There is even a whole day set aside where cars aren’t allowed and children’s laughter fills their streets. The residents definitely pay a premium to be a part of it, with property values ranging in the millions. But, it’s worth it because everything is just as it should, and everyone gets along. That is, until Darren and Jodie inherit the first house on the corner.
Darren Booth is a lowlife in the eyes of the residents of Lowland Way. He and his girlfriend love getting drunk and listening to loud rock music at all hours of the night. He is a car mechanic, and begins using his front garden to store the rusted, broken down vehicles for his future projects. Darren and Jodie immediately begin breaking down walls, literally, on their new home and to the prestigious way of life their neighbors cherish.
When an unexpected death occurs on Booth’s property, the neighbors immediately begin pointing fingers at the newcomers. Yet, the detectives on the case are, seemingly, pointing it right back at them. The question begins circling - Can you hate your neighbor enough to want to kill him?
