POSE-DOWN is a dark comedy set in Southwest Florida revolving around three former high school classmates –THE BODYBUILDER, THE GOOD OL' BOY and THE HOMECOMING QUEEN - whose lives become entangled after the airing of a tabloid news program. A tall Southern tale.

POSE DOWN's twisted journey begins with a MacGuffin about a Killer Bodybuilder BRIAN DECK, and slowly shifts into a story about his high school sweetheart, MARLENA GATE, who returns to her hometown to bury both her estranged mother and her past. POSE DOWN – one element of a bodybuilding competition where all the competitors face off against one another simultaneously - becomes a metaphor for the characters living and working in a small Southwest Florida town, particularly for our main protagonist, Marlena, who must literally "pose down" her past in order to look to a better future.
