“Once upon a time, there was a town… One day a giant fire burned the entire town to the ground.”

SYNOPSIS
Aiden’s ex, Jordan, appears at her apartment, seeking clarity around sexual assault allegations Aiden recently made against Jordan to a mutual friend. Jordan swears to have no idea what Aiden is talking about, but Aiden is unconvinced. Together, they work to untangle the events of a university party years before, attempting to find the truth, hold each other accountable, and figure out what next. Smoke is an urgent, nuanced, and vulnerable provocation, that challenges audiences of all ages’ preconceived notions of justice, trauma, love, and forgiveness.
