Carol navigates her daily life with a compulsive disorder of hoarding material things to cope with loss, misery and the gaslighting by her husband. Known locally as the Clutter Specialist, she spends her days admiring her collection before heading out looking for items to add to her clutter. Growing increasingly estranged from her family, Carol's isolation and determination to bury herself in her collection begins to have consequences for her family that she never imagined. However, things are not as simple as they appear, as the truth comes to the fore when Carol opens the banned door to her husband’s room.
Blunt and sometimes darkly humorous, The Clutter Specialist is a tale of loss, obsession and how the compulsion to acquire things can fracture a family.
