Poster for The Confession

The Confession

2011 · 1 season

A tight, claustrophobic duel of words and guilt, unfolding in hushed confessional tones between two damaged men.

Overview
On Christmas Eve, a hit-man enters a church to confess his sins to a priest. While at first the Confessor seems to be an evil, cold-blooded killing machine and the Priest the ultimate arbiter of good, as the Confessor’s journey is revealed, it becomes clear that both men are much more complicated than either could have suspected.
