*****

At long last, Adam Sealey has an Oscar within reach. Working with his controversial former mentor, Jonathan, he''s given the performance of a lifetime, and he almost believes it might be worth the cost.

Because Adam subscribes to "the method". It''s the secret that the world''s greatest actors swear by - digging into their darkest, most personal traumas to bring a role to life.

And Adam''s greatest trauma is worse than most. Losing his mother when he was just a boy. A forced choice between the success he craved and the girl he loved. And that night back in drama school, the night of Adam''s darkest secret, when everyone knows about the dead body, but nobody suspects the truth.

And then he gets a message: someone knows. And if they tell, everything Adam''s worked for will come crashing down.<>
