"Harry is rich," according to production notes. "Harry is married. But when Harry doesn’t trust any of it is enough, he looks to find something real in the most unlikely of places." The dark comedy "explores the corrosive effect of power on relationships and the hope we need to make them better."

The production features scenic design by Alexander Dodge, costume design by "Project Runway" runner-up Emilio Sosa, lighting design by David Weiner and sound design by M.L. Dogg. 

Paul Weitz is also the author of Show People, Privilege, Mango Tea, Captive, All for One and Roulette. He also wrote and directed the comedy "American Dreamz," starring Hugh Grant, Dennis Quaid and Mandy Moore, as well as "In Good Company," starring Topher Grace and Scarlett Johansen.
