| Ilona Waxman, a former intern at the Federal Bureau of Prisons, is missing. This puts congressman Dan Ferris (D-Ca.) in an awkward position. His response puts his children, Alma and Avery, in an even more awkward position. They search for the truth by taking on the voices of Dan and Ilona, improvising a drama of loyalty, seduction, and betrayal. Overhearing them, Monica Lewinsky interrupts. | |||||

Synopsis: | There are two kinds of mazes: the kind where you try to get through and out the other side, and the kind where you try to get to the center. A teenage girl recreates her identity after eight years held captive in a suburban basement; a band remakes itself post-rehab and post-hit-song; a self-taught artist gains a cult following for his 15,000-page comic book. | |||||
