"The Nines" unfolds in three parts, featuring the same actors in different (and in some ways overlapping) incarnations. A troubled actor, a television show runner, and an acclaimed videogame designer find their lives intertwining in mysterious and unsettling ways. Together, the three stories form a single narrative that explores the relationships between author and character, actor and role, creator and creation. Alternately funny and unsettling, "The Nines" is like a riddle where the answer may just lead to another question.
