Description

Ten years after his release from prison for a murder he may or may not have committed, Oliver Marks is finally confronted by the detective who put him away. As Oliver recounts the events of a decade prior, the narrative plunges into the intense world of seven young actors at an elite arts college, where the lines between performance and reality blur with devastating consequences. Their Shakespearean roles—hero, villain, tyrant—begin to bleed into their real lives, leading to a tragic death and a desperate struggle for survival. This gripping tale explores ambition, betrayal, and the dangerous allure of playing with fire, all while questioning the nature of truth and guilt.
