Plot Summary:
Tully has lost his memory. But a past of passionate affairs, murder, and countless betrayals is not easily forgotten. In this daring new musical drama, a lifetime's worth of writings will force their author to confront the terrible cost of his actions and the formidable fate which awaits him. Sorting through the mangled and disordered poems that depict his life, Tully will re-live his past, in no particular order, discovering the young idealist he once was, the dangerous socialite whom he loved, and the unfortunate cost of his unyielding artistic obsession.
