About
Two aspiring young writers meet in a Chicago neighborhood on the cusp of gentrification. Ciara, a Black American poet, and Cormac, an Irish writer on a J1 visa. They connect over their shared love of language, literature, and the art of cruelty. What begins as fun flirtation transforms into an intense summer romance—until immigration, bad decisions, and unspoken truths tear them apart.
Seven years later, now a successful TV writer in London, Ciara faces an unexpected reunion when a journalist named Dedalus arrives to interview her about her hit series... a series based on their relationship. Inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, this quick witted dramedy asks: Can you rewrite the past? Should you? And what happens when the person you immortalized shows up to confront you?
