Written and performed by Sean Christopher Lewis
Directed by Matt Slaybaugh
Spending lonely weeks in Kansas teaching a group of mentally-troubled kids, Sean Lewis (Killadelphia) is pulled by a sudden rush of memories into a world where the definitions of what's crazy and what's sane are strange, shifting, and sometimes very dangerous.

Something wicked this way comes. A letter from a long-forgotten ex-girlfriend, a monster in the backyard, a math lesson, and a road trip to the Ohio Caverns twist and turn into a stunning drama about searching for meaning in the face of terror.
