The Metric System

by James Armstrong

2 Males, 2 Females

Synopsis:  Mary Beth, who as a child was abused at school, strikes up an unlikely relationship with Alan, a former teacher who lost his job after being accused of beating a female student.  They meet secretly once a week to re-enact their dark pasts.  Matters are complicated when Alan's wife finds out about the meetings and suspects a sexual affair.  In truth, the bond between them is much stronger than mere sex, and possibly much more dangerous.  The Metric System proceeds with uncompromising logic as these three people search for the ability to connect with one another and try to work out a new system by which to live.
