Citizen Steele

Adrift in a self-imposed emotional and spiritual oblivion, reclusive attorney Richard Jason Steele struggles through alarming personal and professional anxieties to isolate and define the roots of his lethargy by embracing yet ultimately rejecting the philosophical paradigms of the late Ludwig Wittgenstein, his one-time intellectual idol. His aggressive and escalating deconstruction of the primeval philosopher’s magnum opus Tractatus-Logico Philosophicus parallels the collapse of his own legacy upon arrest for a violent crime that pits his own alternative ethical theories against the grim realities of his life under the sudden threat of pending mortality through execution.
