A couple's marriage is under strain and the college professor's wife is having an affair. The husband kills them both and is then is stranded by a hurricane before he can dispose of the bodies.

Our play poses a dilemma you have never faced or are likely to face in your lifetime. Whether to commit the murder in your heart when your mind tells you to restrain yourself. Listen to what happened to one man, Thomas Drake, who did face that dilemma, and what he did about it.

Have you ever returned home late one night and listened in the still darkness, tense and trembling, hoping and praying that you would not hear the whispered passions of your wife? and the stranger fearful that you could not would not control a blinding fury to kill that man getting out of the car on that dark dead-end road on the windswept bluff overlooking the desolate Long Island Sound Beach hurrying by cloud-veiled moonlight down the winding footpath through the scrub pines and brush to his isolated cottage is Thomas Drake, despondent, depressed.
