Bernard Chapman is a tired playwright, caught in the unflattering throes of a mid-life crisis. His life style choices completely alienated him from his family and loved ones. Teetering on the brink of emotional bankruptcy, he consumed with suspicion and self-loathing. So intense is this deep-rooted contempt for all that he has become, it brings out his demons on a fateful night in August. The demons manifest themselves as characters from his various plays. The ghostly assemblage summoned directly from the bowels of his over-active imagination, vehemently attempt to convince Bernard that he is guilty of an unspeakable act...a shocking act of violence.
