Midnight in a Perfect Life

Karl is a troubled writer standing on the precipice of 40. After a degree of success in his early career he is now battling with what he terms his “opus”, his legacy to the world. But his partner Lori, the main breadwinner, is also thinking about her destiny and wants a child. As they embark on fertility treatment, Karl is forced to confront his deepest fear – that he will turn out to be like his father, a travelling salesman who was found dead after apparently committing murder when Karl was just 13.
