"Set in the world of New York theatre, a brutal revenge killing is investigated by two of New York's finest," according to production notes. "[It] takes one detective back to the jungles of Vietnam, and the other officer into the dementia of a Veteran's mind. What do you do when justice fails? In the search for justice, what tools are unlawful? What actions unpardonable? What strategies unthinkable? Is it right to seek justice alone, when no one or no thing will provide it? And what will you become, once you've achieve it?"

Mead's script was developed over the last two years at the Workshop. Arian Blanco directs.

The cast includes Alexandra Devin, Susan Kim, Kathy Gail MacGowan, Sandy Moore, and Paul Singleton.

According to the author, the title is a Vietnamese collaquialism, meaning, "Remember the past." It can also be used, by a Vietnamese, to mean, "You can't forget the past."
