“Starlight” is a surreal dark comedy that follows a struggling writer who, in a deep depression after losing the love of his life, must confront the decisions he made that compelled her to leave. Through a series of metaphorical vignettes providing insight into their failed relationship, the man decides to rewrite his own life the way he wishes it would have gone.

Heughan is about to start production on the second season of “Outlander,” which premiered to record numbers for Starz and returns on Apr. 4.
