The setting for this two act play is in a cottage somewhere in Ontario.
Carson, a successful author has arrived at the end of the fall season to write his latest book. He chose this time of
year to be in complete isolation; with no phone, and away from his tormented life.
Late one night, Carson is jolted awake by the sounds of an intruder climbing in through the window.
He knocks the intruder out. The next morning, Troy, an angry teenaged delinquent regains concousness, and discovers Carson has chained him to a heavy metal bed.
With unexpected revelations which turn the play on it's head, these two fierce opponents find themselves coming face to face with their inner demons, and an emerging unspoken trust.
This award winning drama premiered at the Peterborough Theatre Guild in 2012, receiving standing ovations night after night.
It was an instant resounding hit, and went on to win Best Production of an original Canadian Play at both the E.O.D.L. Festival and at the Theatre Ontario Festival.
