Logline

An artfully sardonic comedy about a clash with the neighbors

Valerie and Doug would actually feel at home in their tiny New York City apartment, were it not for the couple next door fighting all the time — when they’re not singing karaoke, that is. Exasperated at all the noise, Valerie and Doug decide to move out. But first they want to get revenge on their tormentors by putting on a fake play — not knowing there’ll be unexpected consequences. .
