The drinking dens gobble up what they so work hard for. And so the cycle continues. The Beasts Under Your Bed follows the travails of one such young man raised in this cesspool that he refuses, is helpless or unable to say goodbye to. He looks for love and light at the end of the bottle and illicit relations. Will he find what he’s looking for? Will he finally manage to escape the chains that so tie him to the old adage, ‘A man can leave the village but the village cannot leave the man?’
