Set in a spare downtown-Manhattan apartment after dark, scenes shift from the confrontation between Peter and Kelly, to Kelly's complicated farewell with her husband Craig. Shinn's creepy, sophisticated drama, infused with references to 9/11 and the war in Iraq, explores how contemporary politics and recent history have transformed the lives of these three characters.
