Toby Whithouse's first play "Jump Mr Malinoff, Jump" won the 1998 Verity Bargate award. Duncan is an ambitious young TV producer, ready to do anything to find the next big hit. While planning to bring wrestling back to British TV screens, he meets Victor, aka The Count of Monte Cristo. Victor is one of the old guard, past his prime but desperate to reclaim his glory days - and he's a perfect pawn for Duncan to use in his climb to the top of the industry ladder.
