Sam Strauss, a successful TV writer-turned-playwright, struggles to complete a commissioned project. As he works, he is haunted by personal ghosts of all kinds: literary, imagined, and possibly real. The looming question concerns the murderous event that Sam refuses to see and whether it is real or figurative. To what lengths must an artist travel when pursuing Truth? How far has Sam actually gone to achieve his life's work, and does he know, as Shakespeare put it, "a hawk from a handsaw"?
