Lately Ros has been helping a company of local actors put on a small production of Hamlet. She finds the poetic language a perfect distraction from her job . . . until uncanny parallels between life and art become too unnerving to ignore. When environmental lawyer Peter King suddenly, his son Daniel suspects murder.
