When eighteen-year-old Anna asks callous acting coach, Curt, to prepare her for an upcoming audition, she has no idea she is beginning a working relationship that will forever change both of their lives. Curt and Anna build a relationship, two careers, and a process of acting Shakespeare which they initially find liberating but must finally abandon if they are to find success and happiness.

Death, mystery, disease, insanity, blood, poetry: It’s not one of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories. It’s his life, and he’s only just turned thirteen. Struggling with his severe foster-father, Edgar escapes into fantasy. But when one of his fantasies becomes flesh, it could destroy him and the only father he’s ever known. It’s a weird tale of the wild visions and macabre realities of the young poet.
