A
desperate man moves into a storage unit with his dead mother's belongings.
His brother and sister plead for him to come out as the death of her
sends them reeling. The last brother, Providence's hottest new playwright,
manipulates them all in search for new material. In Baker’s new
play, AMERICAN STORAGE, lines are crossed and reality blurred when family
turmoil is exploited for personal gain.
