South African playwright Hannah Meade arrives in London for the opening night of her new play. She has arranged to meet Pierre, the student she was in love iwth when she taught English in Paris. During their time together, they lied their way towards truths they were too young and inexperienced to endure. Perhaps this time they will have a second chance.

A brilliantly and pleasantly stated, profoundly emotional, and compelling narrative. It seems like a brand-new contribution to South African literature and appeals to us on a global scale. It made me think of Michael Hanneke's films, which are eerie, unnerving, enlightening, and memorable.
A compelling and gripping story that is beautifully and refreshingly told. It feels like an entirely new addition to South African literature, and it speaks to us far beyond the limits of the country. Craig Higginson is one of my all-time best author, enriching frightening and inspiring. Love it!
