A captivating look at a mother-son relationship poisoned by shame and mistrust, along with the ways in which our justice system, perpetual news cycle and perhaps even our nature as humans prevents us from being able to look past the stain when someone's reputation is tarnished. Donny is a great character because he's not a great guy -- he's messy, rough around the edges, he may not have a heart of gold -- but being an obvious suspect is not what makes someone a killer.

A family rift is temporarily healed, as new intrigues are uncovered in this page-turner. Nelms' dialogue spins us forward through a tightly-packed plot. No spoilers, but this one's got family dysfunction, darkly dramatic action, and is steeped in commentary on our perpetual news cycles.

Don't skip a word of this script. The action and the dialogue is swift and elegant as it takes you deeper and deeper into a dark corner of humanity. While you always know where you are, you never quite know who's telling the truth and who's spinning a yarn to protect themselves. I saw it and heard as I read it. This play is ready to go.
