HOME IS WHERE THE HATE IS

DWELLING is a thriller, inspired by true events, set in a Lower East Side apartment building where a vicious landlord plots to murder his rent-stabilized tenants. The modern-day tenement serves as a pressure cooker where culture, class and capitalism collide, forcing the interconnected tenants to fight for their futures and in some cases, their lives. DWELLING compels us to answer questions about many fading first-world realities that we’ve long taken for granted: community, success, stability.
