Description

WORLD PREMIERE

Five people, four young law students and a school administrator, sign on to be part of an experiment testing a new A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) program to be used in judicial proceedings. Locked in a mock courtroom, they will alternatively be the accused, the witness, the defense attorney, the prosecutor, the judge, and the executioner. But that is six roles, and there is a sixth participant: the A.I. program itself. But everybody has secrets. And everybody has an agenda. Combining a near-future science fiction premise with a psychological thriller, this pressure-cooker situation comes rapidly to a boil, an eruption – and beyond. Because behind every secret is yet another secret. And another. And another. – Karel Kohout
