Synopsis
One year ago, Alex’s fiancé, Monica, was found dead the day before their wedding. It was the very same night as the Broadway preview of Alex’s newest comic script – starring his beloved. Bereft, Alex retreated from the public eye.
Today, one year after Monica’s death, Alex has re-convened his cast in the very same theatre where they opened last year. Alex wants them to read his new play, Killing Jessica, which describes the death of a woman – very much like Monica’s – and it seems as though the characters are suspiciously similar to the people Alex has gathered for the reading.
Perhaps, the play’s the thing wherein Alex’ll catch the conscience of a killer.
