註釋

Sometimes the worst of us is the best we can do.Meet James. Tactless, unbothered, and completely out-of-touch, James lives an uneventful life until his unemployment benefits run dry and he's forced to retreat to the only place he has left to go: his estranged father's place. Dad's mobile home is nestled dark and dank inside a trailer park reserved for the worst of society. The park is meant to be a means of rehabilitation for people like James's father, but its denizens have everything but rehab on their minds.South of here, James will meet an eclectic cast of ne'r-do-wells: Tanya, his father's down-on-her-luck neighbor; Brenda, the attention-starved single-mother-of-one who jockeys the register at the corner store; and Mallorie, our resident monster in mourning. New relationships will kindle while others burn to the ground. Some are lost, and few are saved. Either way, James must abide.SOUTH OF HERE is a dissection of the opportunistic, the deviant, and the shamed. It is a study of the sociopaths we sweep under the rug, those we'd rather forget, the ones we hide in the shadows, out of sight, out of mind. This is humanity at its most solipsistic, naked, and darkly comic. It's only up from here.
