Drama

Past Due

A grounded, slow-burn drama about trust, money, and the quiet fractures of living together.

In the working-class town of Milford, two roommates share more than just a cramped apartment — they share the weight of overdue rent. For three months, one has been covering the bills while the other struggles after losing a job. What began as patience and loyalty starts to unravel into resentment, whispered arguments, and the silent calculations of what’s “fair.” As the balance tips between empathy and frustration, both must confront not only the reality of survival in a struggling town but also the fragile bonds that hold people together when money runs out. The question becomes not just who pays, but who stays.
