35 - 55 minutes

Content Notes: Mild adult language
Set: Three simultaneous settings: a courtroom, a jail cell, and a hospital room behind a scrim

Alex Hansen awakes to find himself on trial for his life. His legal representation is terrible; he's already been deemed guilty; the courtroom proceedings are chaotic to the point of dark comedy. All seems lost, except when Alex gets the momentary sense that someone, somewhere, is advocating for him. In the play's surprising climax, Alex experiences a profound and moving redemption.
