Summary
In October 1997, Joe Cinque uprooted his entire life in Newcastle Australia to be with his girlfriend in Canberra. He had no idea just how deeply disturbed she was or how she'd been fantasizing about becoming the star performer in her own romantic tragedy, with the final act involving a suicide pact. There was just one problem. Joe wasn’t aware of it, or about the friends she’d invited to be the audience.
