If We Were Villains. Illustrated Edition

As a young actor studying at an elite conservatory, Oliver felt doomed to always be
in his friends' shadows. But when a surprise casting turns a good-natured rivalry
between two of them into something dangerous, their stage roles spill over into real
life. Ten years later Oliver is released from prison, having served time for a murder
he may or may not have committed. What really happened a decade before? And
who was to blame?
