    It’s the top of the show. The Poet (Timothy Edward Kane) enters and the lights start to dim—but only just. With the house still lit, the Poet begins to introduce the story that is about to unfold.

However, it’s understood that it must be done, and each individual can only hope their partner does not happen to be the murderer. As the pairs split, a shift occurs.

    We are in a hair salon in Harlem, New York. Miriam (Bisserat Tseggai) is braiding Jennifer’s (Mia Ellis) hair. Hours have passed and there are still many more to go. Miriam is treating each step with care, and Jennifer understands that the task at hand is no small feat. The two at this point have shared pleasantries and snacks, and now Jennifer begins to ask the deeper questions. What else is one to do when sitting in the salon chair?
