A little boy born with a pocket made of flesh uses it to store his anger and resentment in 'The Dent.' 'Resistance' follows a woman walking backwards through the worst day of her life, retracing her steps to find out what she's lost. In 'Tweet, ' a new homeowner's joy turns to rage, and her mental collapse plays out over social media when she starts to see her apartment as more than bricks and mortar. A sweet young couple are pried apart the old fashioned way by an avenging angel known as 'The Shadow Woman.' Love, home, family, sex; these are the rewards we are promised for a youth well spent. But love fades, houses decay, families grow apart, and great passion often comes at a price. The biggest lies are the sweetest, and these ten dark stories break through the beautiful facade of domesticity and inspect the cracked brickwork beneath.
