The two characters are modeled on the Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh, who was executed in the federal prison in Terre Haute, and the writer and critic Gore Vidal. The drama presents Vidal visiting McVeigh during the days before his execution. (In fact, although Vidal did express sympathy and they communicated in letters, the two never did meet.)
