The main themes of Egression are escape and redemption. All the characters are trying by some means or another to escape from aspects of their pasts. Whether it's by drinking, taking drugs, gambling, casual sex or violence. What begin as fun distractions in youth lead to lives of self abuse and addiction.

With forms of therapy frowned upon by the strata of society composing the piece and families distant or uncaring, the characters have no recourse but each other.

Deciding to simply keep on living is the nearest to redemption these characters allow themselves or are perhaps even capable of.

It is here that he meets the aluring Alexis and the strangely astute Corban.

What happens when these worlds collide has consequences both perilous and liberating. Powerless to stop it, these three characters can only struggle through in hope of salvation and eventual redemption.
