Lurking in Suburbia

Joe Egender gives a "breakout performance" in this film festival hit as Conrad Stevens, aka "Connie", a lackadaisical writer who finds himself evaluating his raucous, beer drinking, non-committal life on the night of his 30th birthday party. Feeling trapped in his suburban hometown, where he lives with his childhood friends in a bachelor pad they call "The Palace", Connie decides that it is time to face his biggest fear: growing up!
