<br/><br/> Entreated to tell his side of the story to a detective who put him in prison a decade earlier for a murder he may not have committed, Oliver Marks describes his past as a Shakespearean actor in college whose rivalry with a castmate escalated in dangerous ways.  They were seven Shakespearean actors at Dellecher Classical Conservatory, rivals exchanging roles and lovers. Until opening night on their fourth year, when the competition turned ugly and violence entered the scene. Then they faced their greatest acting challenge: convincing the police they were innocent. On the day Oliver Marks is released from jail, Detective Colborne is waiting at the door. After ten years, he wants to know the truth.
