Synopsis

Hell has a waiting room. Just like every other big organization’s corporate headquarters, there is a space reserved for waiting until the fateful moment when you are called. The major difference between hell and the corporate world is that the waiting room for hell is the best part of the whole endeavor. Although some would argue that point in regards to corporate America as well.
Hell’s Waiting Room tells the story of friends who realize that the apartment they share is really just the waiting room for the rest of their lives. They determine that their future designs and prospects are hellish at best, and resolve to enjoy their time in the waiting room to the best of their ability. Aided by a wide-ranging cast of colorful characters, the roommates set out to make the best of one bad situation after another.
From drug dealing bikers to hookers to stick-up men, our heroes encounter all parts of the societal underbelly as they try to navigate this increasingly toxic environment, fueled of course by copious amounts of drugs and alcohol. With the constant threat of police intervention, armed assault by various factions in the neighborhood, and the real and ever-present danger of running out of dope, our heroes must persevere in their quest to live out their time in the waiting room in style and comfort, seeking above all else to keep the party going until their names are called.
They know they have to make the best of their time in the waiting room, because it only gets worse when you move on from here. Through it all, they learn to love, grieve, empathize, and survive during this time of waiting for the rest of their lives to begin.
