The play, which is based on true events, introduces us to Tara Jones, a young, white, single mother who arrives home from work at night as she always does…but this evening she has a deadly, unwelcome visitor. Anthony Taylor, a 30's, handsome, well-dressed, educated black man is the object of an intense manhunt by the police…for murder. He is a man on the run with nothing to lose. Regardless of his intentions, he has killed two people, one of them a police officer.
Forcing Tara into her apartment from behind with a gun to her head, Anthony is a paranoid, hair trigger of raw emotion…and Tara’s life hinges on every glance, every word, every perceived threat that passes between them. The unexpected arrival of Tara’s tipsy neighbor, Patty, ratchets up the tension in an already unstable situation, putting the lives of both women in peril.
And yet, the hours that pass in the claustrophobic atmosphere of Tara’s apartment see a sensitive, even sympathetic relationship begin to develop between Tara and Anthony as both realize that unintentional actions taken by either of them can—and do—have life-altering consequences.
