A convict is sentenced to the strange town of Coventry, where mysterious occurrences and political strife make his sentence more dangerous than he ever could have imagined. Better Men Elsewhere is an American thriller with elements of the supernatural, magical realism, and gothic fiction. Follow Jason Miranda, a prisoner sentenced to the mysterious mountain town of Coventry for 10 years for his crimes. Coventry is not your usual town and it is not your usual prison. While the townsfolk must cope with a convicted criminal in their midst as part of this unconventional arrangement, Jason must also have his wits about him as he traverses this even stranger, upside down and mysterious corner of the world.
