Drazen Erdemovic is a short 24-year Bosnian Croat with a hip haircut and bad acne scars. He's known to his fellow soldiers as "the crybaby." And he's about to be sentenced for shooting "no more than 70" of the thousands killed in a cornfield near Srebrenica. A courtroom drama based on actual transcripts from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.

Erdemovic is haunted – quite literally – by the ghosts of those he killed. As the play progresses we meet his wife, a Serb who won’t allow herself to believe his stories of the massacre, his child who sees the monster he has become, and the people who inhabit his life and thoughts from the little village he called home. He tells his story to anyone who will listen. Because he’s unable to keep his mouth shut, he is shot and left to die by a trio of his former mates. Erdemovic survives to tell his story to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia – and the outside world – in hopes that he’ll finally rid himself of the ghosts that haunt him.
