Synopsis
"Dinner parties are a dying art."
Warwick Wilson (David Hyde Pierce) is the consummate host. He takes
immense care preparing for a dinner party ensuring everything is
perfect, so the table is flawlessly set and the duck perfectly timed
for 8:30pm.
John Taylor (Clayne Crawford) is a career criminal. He’s just
robbed a bank and needs to get off the streets. He finds himself on
Warwick’s doorstep posing as a friend of a friend, new to Los
Angeles, who’s been mugged and lost his luggage.
While the wine flows and the evening progresses, the audience become
deeply intertwined in the lives of these two men and discover just
how deceiving appearances can be.
With outstanding performances by David Hyde Pierce and Clayne
Crawford, cowriter/director Nick Tomnay takes us on a
suspense-filled ride where nothing is as it seems. THE PERFECT HOST
is a slippery psychological thriller that exposes true human nature
and reveals just how far we’re willing to go to satisfy our needs.
