As the MERCURY rises in the middle of a summer heat wave, a trio of women play a game of whodunit – each a key figure in a murder that has happened, or will happen, or is happening right now.
Names change, details differ, locales vary, but the event remains fixed: someone has been murdered. A crime of opportunity or a crime of passion? It’s a tragedy which, through the telling of it, slowly transforms itself from event into urban legend.

The narrative is non-linear and each actor plays a variation of each character, illustrating the mutability of fact and giving the story an increasingly familiar but unknowable feeling, like a recurring dream.
