Sisyphus is determined to get to the top. He’s changed up his training and has a new approach. He is certain that, this time, he is going to complete his Sisyphean task. But what of the companion in his task, the rock named Stone he rolls up the hill? How does Stone feel about being a participant, where did Stone come from, and why was this stone, of all stones, selected? As Sisyphus rolls, spins, pivots and pushes Stone, Stone tells us the love story he witnessed before he was pulled into Tartarus, the instantaneous connection between two women at different stages of their lives, both frozen by their circumstances until they meet each other. The women are Evie and Merope. Evie believes she is cursed and Merope is, well, Sisyphus’ wife. Their choice in each other seems promising, until details about their lives, more intertwined than they knew, emerge that threaten their budding relationship. Will Sisyphus and Stone complete their task and will Evie and Merope’s relationship survive the revelations - or are they all fated to fail?
