If only these walls could talk, oh what a story they could tell


This extraordinary debut is a tale of mystery, suspense, and comedic insight into the world of social commentary. Bar Manchester, a vintage neighborhood dive located in the Old Banking District of downtown Los Angeles, is in the midst of a resurgence due to rapid development and gentrification of the area. As with any longtime establishment, the bar has seen an infinite amount of stories, characters, and events that have transpired, splintered, and branched out from its interior. As a story told in four different parts, three individuals and their livelihoods crisscross and interchange between each other with the bar being its canvas and backdrop. It all starts with the bartender Archie Rhodes, who excels and loves his craft dearly, but the profession is eating away at him as he desperately longs for an exit from the business. Then we have the beautiful but mysterious Castle Gilchrist. Employed by the Monumental Insurance Company, the weight of her job, family, and societal ills will push her to the brink. To round it out, the grand visionary Warren Baako is a struggling but rising community leader and activist who strives for a more prosperous life for himself and his young daughter Angelica. Everything seems to be status quo on the surface, but as the layers of each individual are slowly peeled back and exposed, the world as we know it will change, and Bar Manchester will become its epicenter and ground zero. Expect the unexpected.
