Twist is a retelling of Charles Dickens's classic Oliver Twist, updated to current times. Told from the point of the Artful Dodger 'Dodge', Twist is a tale of the prosaically beautiful Oliver who falls into the hands of down-and-out young men. Dodge takes the young man under his wing and instructs him in the unforgiving arts of drug abuse and prostitution. As Oliver's innocence dissolves, both young men confront inner and outer demons and, strangely, it is Dodge who finds he cannot escape his past.
