"A comedy writer in a career freefall becomes convinced that he deserves more, and sets out to write his own Hollywood ending," press notes state. "Truth proves stranger than fiction as he implicates his family, his best friend, and a bewitching young woman to get what he thinks he’s got coming. Seduction, suspicion, and suspense become intertwined in a twisted tale of comic noir that leaves no one unscathed."

Rudnick's writing credits include The Edge of Allegiance, as well as the film "Hot Potato" and the TV pilot "Circus/Maximus."

The creative team includes Stephen Gifford (scenic designer), Jared A. Sayeg (lighting designer) and Michele Young (costume designer).
