Broadway veteran, Bill Timoney and Jim Fingal, played by Isaac Josephthal, the young fact-
checker assigned to review his essay about the suicide of a young man in Las Vegas. Keeping the two men in check is Jim Fingal's demanding editor, Emily Penrose, portrayed by Cape May Stage veteran, Marlena Lustik.
