Description: Two men and a corpse are stranded on a roof after a terrible storm. E-Z is a rebellious young man brimming with anger. Malcolm is a reformed addict who has found strength through religion. Sharing the roof with them is the corpse of Lowboy -- a neighborhood gang member -- who drowned in the rising flood waters surrounding the house. Over the course the two stultifying days in the sun, Malcolm and E-Z must battle heat, hunger, their pasts and each other... Ultimately Malcolm and E-Z discover their only salvation is through each other. LOWER NINTH is an exploration of faith, survival and mutual redemption.
