More DescriptionBobby Bright is a man of simple tastes. He loves the Philadelphia Eagles, scrapple sandwiches, and his stay-at-home girlfriend, Snooze. But most of all, Bobby loves his neighborhood, Fishtown, a sleepy stretch in a crumbling corner of Philadelphia.
But when a mysterious artist moves into the abandoned church on his street, Bobby's world begins to change in ways he never imagined. Hipster bars appear in boarded-up store fronts. Sleek condominiums crop up in vacant lots. Suddenly, Bobby is displaced: a stranger in a place that he has known his whole life. But as a wave of gentrification washes over Bobby's neighborhood, it also dredges up old secrets, uncovering a buried violence that has lain hidden, slumbering beneath the streets for 20 years.
