Description: Rose Spencer has just achieved the ultimate young-intellectual's dream: becoming a staff writer for a prestigious New York literary/criticism journal. And her editor, the smart and attractively cynical Benjamin, is definitely flirting with her -- while also respecting her writing. With the sudden rise of an Occupy-style political movement in a public park right outside the journal's offices, Rose sees a way to participate in what may be the defining activist movement for her generation, but too quickly she must learn to recognize the difference between sincere action and skillful self-promotion.
Notes: Cast: 2 men, 2 women.
