The excesses of privilege are exposed in a prep school sex scandal

Overview

Brandon Hardy is brilliant, athletic, popular and charming--the kind of student that makes St. Joe’s Prep School proud to call its own. However, his privileged life threatens to collapse when a disturbing videotape is found on campus. As the resulting scandal takes unexpected turns, Brandon’s mother must sort fact from fiction from family. The central mystery in this world premiere drama by a dynamic young writer will keep you absorbed through the final revelation.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is a graduate of the Yale School of Drama. His plays include Based on a Totally True Story, Dark Matters and Say You Love Satan. He is also known for his work on the Marvel comic books Fantastic Four and The Sensational Spider-Man.
