In Arcadia — J.D. Shaw

In Arcadia is a dark, satirical journey to post climate change suburbia. An enclave of outrageous entitlement, Arcadia's proud community zealously defends its affluence from an increasingly desperate outside world.

A terrifying home invasion force Tom and his young family to flee the crime-ridden inner-city for a fresh start in Arcadia; an idyllic suburb nestled on the city fringe, offering security and a sparkling new civic morality.



Arcadia's refreshing lifestyle quickly begins to tarnish however when Tom stumbles upon some harsh and unpalatable truths that underpin the suburb's affluent existence.



Unsettled by his grim discoveries, Tom is drawn on a journey that will bring storm clouds to the idyllic community, incur the wrath of Arcadia's all-powerful Residents Association, drag the suburb to the very brink of disaster, and ultimately, threaten to tear his family apart.
