Jo, a stay-at-home mom and struggling writer is offered an unusual deal for her memoir: she has to make her life exciting enough to publish. As mysterious and even sinister events start happening to her, Jo has to decide how far she is willing to go to make her life into art, and whether it's all coincidence or if someone is determined to make sure her memoir is a best-seller at any cost.

Minneapolis/St. Paul

A writer of murder mysteries is married to a woman in Minneapolis. At the same time, he's married--as a woman--to a man in St. Paul. This meta-theatrical journey into questions of gender identity and sexual preference forces him, and us, to examine more crimes than one.
