So when his brother is himself gunned down, Will feels like he has to follow the code, and gets in the elevator on the top floor of his apartment building, armed and ready to hit the streets in search of vengeance. What happens on the way down is an emotional journey that brings Will face to face with the literal ghosts of his past as he tries to make the biggest decision of his life.: -Olney Theatre Center Broadsheet
