by Ivan Kander and Jesse Guyer

Edie is a successful photographer, but her life begins to unravel after she takes a photo of an unknown man jumping to his death from a burning building. Haunted by his ghost and the guilt of being a witness, Edie must face her photograph, or destroy it - even if that means destroying the man.

Inspired by the famous (and famously censored) photograph with the title, "The Falling Man," we are ferried back and forth between two worlds: the real-world, struggling to go on in the aftermath of a national disaster; and a mysterious netherworld, where the Living's decision to move on has terrible consequences for the Dead.
