With nothing but day-time television, the daily crossword and each other for company, we begin to see the pressure on their relationship. In a puzzling narrative, told through flashback and “crossword” format dialogue, we explore the intricacies and difficulties of a lifelong commitment. Give a voice to the voiceless through poetry and prose. And highlight the struggle of loneliness for the already vulnerable.
