Vivian Parry works as the junior theater critic at a major Manhattan magazine. Angling for a promotion, she reluctantly agrees to an interview, a conversation that reveals secrets she
thought she had long since buried. Then her interviewer disappears and she learns that she was the last person to have seen him alive. When the police refuse to investigate, Vivian turns her critical gaze toward an unsanitary private eye, a sketchy internet startup, a threatening financier, fake blood, and one very real corpse. As she nears the final act, she finds that the boundaries between theater and the real world are more tenuous and dangerous than even she could have believed.
