Set in 1963 during the Red Scare and rising tensions in Brazil, the play tells the story of a U.S. agent and a Brazilian translator as they collaborate on a manual for interrogation techniques aimed at suppressing communist movements. As Brazil plunges into a brutal military dictatorship, their work and friendship are tested, forcing them to confront the dark realities of their actions and their own identities.
