In the underground world of pickup artists, there are five simple steps to attract any woman within minutes. When Peter Miller, renowned ghostwriter plagued by self-doubt, agrees to pen the biography of the master of seduction, he is plunged into this world and taught the rules of the game. In no time at all, Peter is well on his way to mastering the art of pickup himself. All it will cost him is his own identity.

Set in a rural community deep in the belly of the Ozarks, Rosalie, a sheltered young woman with a bubbling curiosity, has her world turned upside down when a mysterious, troubled stranger arrives on the property. Their unlikely friendship soon becomes more and, as their lives become intertwined, she must choose between the utopia she knows and the glistening possibility of a life on the outside. Set to a folk and bluegrass-infused score, My Name is Annie King is a country-fried thriller -- a dark meditation on identity, grief, and the high cost of a fresh start.
Conceived at Pace University, My Name is Annie King was accepted into Goodspeed Musicals' Johnny Mercer Writers Colony, and played Chicago's Underscore Theater Company prior to Presson's involvement on the show.
