A darkly playful walk through the mind of Edgar Allan Poe, where humour, dread, and beauty collide this Halloween. When theatrical producer Thomas Evans meets his old friend Edgar Allan Poe in a gloomy tavern, he has a mission: to pull Poe back from the abyss, if only for one evening. As skulls crowd the table and death-haunted ideas spill forth, Thomas counters Poe’s macabre obsessions with verse, wit, and impossible hope… urging him to imagine a life beyond despair.
