Summary
Rooms of Experience, Act 1
By Steffany Sommers
Starring Patty McCormack as Ada Wells
and Dan Lauria as DA Harvey Davis
The call comes in at night.
An elderly woman.
A dead son.
A tank of helium left in plain sight.
Ada Wells doesn’t deny it.
She wanted his last day to be peaceful.
Enter Dana Jeffries, razor-sharp, undefeated, and hungry to prove herself.
Her boss, Harvey Davis, assigns the case for one reason: optics.
Defense attorney Alexis Martinez pushes back hard.
Detective Curtis starts questioning his own conclusions.
Gina Gordon protects Ada like family.
Carter becomes another pressure point inside the machine.
Rebecca is caught in the ripple effect.
Then Alexis shows Dana the home movies.
The real story.
The years no one saw.
The cost no one counted.
By the end of Act One, Dana walks out of Ada’s house shaken.
No longer sure the law and justice are the same thing.
