The Walker
“Everyone loves a good scandal.”
CrimeMysteryDrama
Carter Page III, a middle-aged gay man in Washington, D. C., is a "walker", a single man who escorts other men's wives to social events so the husbands do not have to. One of the women he escorts, Lynn Lockner, is the wife of a United States senator and is carrying on an affair with a lobbyist. When she finds the lobbyist murdered, she embroils Carter in an investigation that leads to the highest levels of the federal government.
VIBE
This film feels like a smoke-filled room where secrets fester. It's a murky dive into the underbelly of power, where every interaction is a calculated move and trust is a luxury no one can afford. The atmosphere is thick with paranoia and moral ambiguity.
