The Last Twist is a gripping biographical miniseries that delves into the remarkable and tumultuous life of William Sydney Porter, better known by his pen name, O. Henry. Through the lens of his literary genius and personal struggles, we explore the man behind some of the most iconic short stories in American literature. O. Henry, renowned for his mastery of plot twists and his ability to weave complex characters into simple yet profound tales, lived a life as unpredictable and dramatic as the stories he penned. From his humble beginnings in North Carolina to a career as a journalist, a bank clerk, and eventually a celebrated writer, his journey was filled with adventure, tragedy, and triumph. Set against the backdrop of late 19th and early 20th century America, the series chronicles his rise to literary fame, his imprisonment for embezzlement, and his battle with alcoholism, all while unveiling the deep personal demons and love stories that shaped his narratives. With each episode, we’ll uncover how his own life became a tangled web of irony, humor, heartbreak, and resilience—elements that would later define his literary works.
