★★★★ “A haunting exercise in storytelling” – Total Film

“A shocking true tale of life and death.” – Danny Leigh, Film 2015

After 23 years on Death Row a convicted murderer petitions the court asking to be executed. This is his story. But as he begins to tell it we gradually learn that nothing is quite what it seems. In a monologue that is part confessional and part performance, Nick, the sole protagonist, tells a tale with all the twists and turns of classic crime drama. And as the story unfolds, it reveals something much deeper about the liberating power of love and literature. A final shocking twist casts everything in a new light.
