Description

House on Fire takes place in Fishtown, PA, on the edge of the Delaware River, where four-flushers and thieves abound. Coleman returns home to his dutiful brother, Dale, and their baseball-obsessed Old Man, but he’s not exactly alone. Following Coleman are a one-armed grifter and his ethereally empathic sister.

In this moving and funny parable of love, resentment, family and redemption, secrets emerge from Coleman’s other life, which make it increasingly difficult to tell who is running toward or away from whom.
