Ruth, a young widow with 8 year-old twins, has just lost her house and her livelihood and is living on her cousin's floor. Blake, a big-talking producer trying to make his first foray into hard news, is slumming in Hazard County to find "real stories about real people." Ruth seems to be exactly who he's looking for until he finds himself under pressure for one more Enquirer-style story. As the truth of her situation comes out, will Ruth be forced to face the secret she's denied for years? And what exactly did we learn from all those years watching "The Dukes of Hazzard?"

Inspired by Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, Snake in Fridge examines the  sordid lives of a group of young misfits living in a creepy Victorian house. Their combined income barely covers club-going and drugs, so overdue rent is mounting. Daydreams of fame and fortune are constantly interrupted by the insidious lure of the porn industry. When one of the housemates accepts a snake to cover a debt, the snake disappears and bizarre things begin to happen. Eventually, they begin to wonder if it is the snake or the spirit of the house that is haunting them. Things come to a head when the group -- an internet porn performer, a busboy who longs to be a waiter, a nude dancer, her mentally-challenged sister and a male stripper -- discover that one of their own may be a murderer.
