Synopsis
The only way to reconcile the childhood memory of his mother’s murder… will be to reenact the crime. Please be seated. The show is about to begin.
"The writing has a raw, abrasive energy, like it’s trying to peel back a layer of skin. I couldn’t look away." — Literary Titan
An unsettling debut thriller perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Black Swan, and dark character-driven suspense.
STEP ON A CRACK, SEE YOUR MOTHER LYING DEAD ON THE FLOOR.
It was their house. He had no right. No right at all. But that man took what he wanted, just to cap off that sad little boy’s already unspeakable childhood.
And for the next thirteen years, that pathetic useless child would cower and hide, hallucinate and obsess. Thirteen years.
Now that past is circling back.
An unsociable dancer auditioning for a dream ensemble.
The hallucinating obsessive who imagines himself a hero.
And the serial offender who yearns to be forgiven.
For Katrina, Jared, and Michael, every dream for the future is chained to the traumas of their childhoods. But it all ends when they’re drawn into a carefully orchestrated masquerade of psychological manipulation, retribution, and survival.
As the clock ticks down on a deadly confrontation reminiscent of that horrible night, their last chance at redemption hinges on the long-buried memories and dark secrets of the past.
Tonight’s sold-out show presents: Obsession. Betrayal. Ambition.
It’s time to redeem the past or die.
It’s time to make it—or break it all.
