THE WORDS
Young writer Rory Jansen finally achieves long sought after literary success after publishing the next great American novel. There's only one catch -- he didn't write it. As the past comes back to haunt him and his literary star continues to rise, Jansen is forced to confront the steep price that must be paid for stealing another man's work, and for placing ambition and success above life's most fundamental three words. "Debuting writer-directors Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal reveal undoubted talents for smoothly luring an audience into a story, nicely balancing a triple-tiered dramatic line and enabling their sexy actors to shine." -- Todd McCarthy (Hollywood Reporter) "Writer-directors Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal have pulled together a strong script, rich performances, and an incredible score to craft a compelling and captivating film full of deception, remorse, and guilt." -- Matt Goldberg (Collider.Com)
