Dea and Jay met at drama school over 15 years ago. They now live in the West Village with their 9 year old son when Dea, a rising film star, drops a bombshell during a Q&A for her new action flick: she killed her brother out of self-defense. Thus begins a media firestorm and a messy affair between Jay and the non-binary adult child of Dea's Hollywood agent. The wild tale unfurls from Jay's point of view.
