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. 

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?
