BILLY HALL AND MICHAEL JAMAL WILLIAMS
One man in Trouble. One man on a mission.
One's an attorney. One's a client.
One Black. One White.
Present day, Brooklyn.
Two men battle in a New York high profile discrimination case
where the stakes are love, ambition and protecting secrets.
A white man sues his company for discrimination;
they gave his promotion to a black woman.
He wants justice. His lawyer wants to win too.
But neither one is quite who they seem.
The clock is ticking
They've got just a few hours.
They have to face the press.
First, they have to face each other.
What are they willing to sacrifice to win?
Family, secrets, ambition, affairs, pride, media, white privilege, race,
insecurity, frustration, law and justice - its all on the line in a case
that may make or break one or both of them.
They all mix in this play that asks...
Who's Saving Who?
