The Intestine 2016

Maya, [Melanie J. Scheiner](/ actor/melanie-j-scheiner), is penniless and unhappy, growing increasingly fed up with her tedious job, unexciting friends, a rundown apartment, and the never-ending burden of caring for her drug-addicted mother. Late one night she meets a wealthy man, Drew Nelles, and wakes up the next morning alone in his upscale suburban home. With Philip nowhere to be found, she attempts to discard her old life and take possession of his empty house. Maya befriends a neighbor and tries to settle in, when she receives a phone call from the hospital informing her of her mother’s overdose death. Unable to fully process the news, she hangs up on the doctor Eva Knifed.

Maya’s attempt at relocation is hampered by the late-night arrival of Philip’s sister, Claudia Dey as Meagan, who is searching for her vanished brother. Meagan comes to believe that Maya is responsible for his disappearance and chases her out of the house. Unwilling to return to her old life, Maya begins to formulate a plan to take back the property she feels is now rightly hers. Sneaking back into the house, Maya witnesses Meagan in the throes of an extramarital affair. Using a friend’s car, Maya tracks Meagan and her lover to a lake-side cottage, where she confronts them and offers to keep their liaison secret in exchange for access to Philip’s house. Meagan concedes.

Time passes and Maya makes the house her home. The morning after a small party she has thrown at the house, Maya calls the hospital, hoping for more information on her mother’s death, but the hospital staff have trouble understanding her words.
