As the play begins, a police radio reports the murders of the wife of a leading citizen and her lover, and a team headed by chief detective John Torski immediately swings into action
Suspicion, at first, centers on the victim's husband, a ruthless local businessman named Bim Miller, a classmate and former friend of Torski's - until he too is murdered
Thereafter the fascinating trail of clues leads, step by step, through a series of revealing interrogations which, in the end, piece together a chilling tale of hidden crime, festering guilt, alienation and eventual retribution - violently exacted by a tortured, long-lost son who has never forgiven the sins of his unloving parents
Set in a small midwestern city, this spellbinding, gripping play uses the investigation of a shocking double murder as a means to probe into the damaging truths heretofore hidden in the lives of some of the leading citizens
