The Gardener, written by and narrated by William A. White. The Gardener is an intense crime-thriller set in unnamed locations in the present day. It’s bleak and vicious yet not without humour. Edward feels trapped, limited in his life and stifled by his own internal hesitation. The endless cycle of work, rest and occasional play with no direction leaves him emotionless, just ambling through life one day at a time. Repressed desires are released in a series of situations where he would normally walk away after deciding that the best path is that of least resistance.
