Roach, a road trip vlogger suffering from pica documents his obsession with eating rocks from different natural landmarks across the American continent, and August, a run-of-the-mill (or maybe out of it) pathological arsonist who loves the smell of burning trees, reappears from Roach's past to hijack the trip in order to rekindle their past romance. A wrong turn down a highway brings them to their childhood Midwestern town, where in the ashes of a burned down home a new spark threatens to derail their journey. "I'M GOING TO EAT YOU ALIVE" is a play about the ethics of incentivizing profiting off ofnature, male mental illness, and toxicity in queer spaces.
